As always, we’re excited and extremely pleased to deliver another issue, celebrating, cheering and challenging you to be your very best. So, welcome to Issue 12!

In this Food & Drink issue we feature the great work of Edward Johnston and his team at Port Royal Patties who are quietly and intentionally delivering the taste of the Caribbean to Europe, starting with the Paris Olympics 2024.

As patties seem to be taking over the UK in terms of spreading it’s culinary charms, we introduce you to The Vegan Patty Lady, Natasha Orumbie, and hear about her quest for creating pure plant patty perfection.

Our job is getting easier AND harder.

Easier to find Black talent, products and pages to spotlight. Harder to choose just 10 of each category.

Check out our list of spotlights on 10 People to follow, 10 Products to buy & try and 10 Pages to read.

To make the job easier for us & more convenient for you, we’ve collaborated with Matthew Addai & the Cashblack team to spotlight 10 products to buy and to try from their platform.
