London’s Tube map has been powerfully recreated to honour hundreds of people who helped shape black history in Britain. The 272 station names have been replaced by notable black figures from pre-Tudor times to the present day. trib.al/RGJIZqY

A great article on #Tooting brothers Troy and Jarrell, and how they took @JuiciJerk from a small van-based Caribbean cuisine business to a national distribution network – and all during the pandemic. Story via @myldn: bit.ly/399WEVN

Do y’all understand the significance and brilliance of this?!? If you’re a millennial/80’s/90’s baby, imagine your younger self seeing this level of representation! It’s beautiful 👨🏿👩🏾 #TheBigBreakfast

I think #BlackToFront happening outside of Black History Month makes it a little bit more special

And you know what? This isn't 25% of the Black British talent in this country. Not even close. If production companies and commissioners opened up opportunities to old and new talent they could have had a #BlackToFront on all five of the terrestrial channels today.

This initiative is nice 100% but it’s really making me a bit sad lol. It’s just dawned on me how much black talent has seriously been held back from their greatness cos white people in UK dont want to put them on tv 😭 #blacktofront
My goodness Channel 4 news tonight has been incredibly powerful. I don’t even know where to start. What a powerful and emotive hour! #Channel4 #BlackToFront

Thinking about the fact that we even had BET UK which was supposed to give us days like #BlackToFront every day but failed to adequately centre Black British creative talent in my opinion.
