AFROBEATS N BRUNCH is the UK's biggest African brunch and we had us a good time!

We made it to the 1st edition of the Afropool Lisbon event at Mira Rio. Let us set the scene, a DJ playing Afrobeats, live drumming and saxophones, people dancing, while the sun sets over the ocean! 🌅

This is an event you don't want to miss

Check them out if you're in Lisbon

Meet Miaous B. 📸🇫🇷

While in Paris, we explored Strasbourg–Saint-Denis, a bustling Black neighborhood where we got a glimpse into everyday life for young people and the working class, met local entrepreneurs, and, of course, supported the aunties. 🖤

Through Miaous’s lens, we saw more than beautiful images. We saw community, culture, resilience, and so many parallels to the Black American experience.

His photography captures the stories that often go unseen and reminds us that, even across borders, there are familiar threads connecting Black communities around the world.
