We are looking for some young people who would be willing to engage in some conversations and debates on issues that affect them. Education, Business, Politics, Health, Media, Crime and a host of other topics that they will be able to air their voice on with some elder statesmen in the Afro Caribbean Community.

UK Black

UK Black is a podcast that can be picked up on iTunes.

Around England there are numerous local stations which feature African  and Caribbean content including

Profile: Kanya King

Kanya King MBE is the founder and owner of the MOBO Organisation. Driven with a passion to have a show highlighting music of black origin, which was woefully absent from many other award ceremonies, she established the organisation in 1996. Now a televised show reaching audiences of millions world wide she has blaized a trail for other European urban awards ceremonies, although not without controversy. When I met Kanya it was very clear that she was driven and had a driving passion to be the best at what she does. She doesn’t just talk, she takes action.Kanya’s background includes a stint at Carlton TV as a researcher and was part of the production team for the Crystal Rose Show.
