Lucy Ndlovu is the Communications Director at Leeds African Communities Trust. We had a great chat about how and why the trust was formed, how they are looking for more communities to join them, their food hub at Little London Community Centre and much more:
"The Leeds African Communities Trust promotes the wellbeing of people of African descent throughout Leeds, by advancing education, relieving poverty and improving their welfare, through community based activities in partnership with its associated African community groups, Leeds City Council and other public and private sector bodies."
(Their website is in development and I will add a link here when it's live)

Lucy wished to feature an Afrobeats track and I follow the wonderful TC & The Family Groove on Bandcamp who kindly agreed to let me feature their fantastic track, "Let's Start"
"Inspired by the afrobeat pioneered by Tony Allen and Fela Kuti, Let's Start is about moving forward as a stronger, unified society for all those who seek justice and peace; standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement."
You can see the band live for their album launch at Brudenell Social Club on 1st June, 2022:
