So, I'm Told by Sarah Lasoye
'I’m not saying, hey, imagine, what if it was you. / I’m saying it is you' — this poem by Sarah Lasoye collapses the distances between us, where complicity and silence breed and hinder true connection and solidarity. The poem was shortlisted for the 2025 Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize. So, I’m told that: Here, where I am, this is happening and There, where they are, that is happening When, actually: Here, where I am, this is happening That is happening here, everywhere, always.
Confronting the consequences of racism, xenophobia, and discrimination on health and health-care systems
Individual, community, and health-care interventions Our review of individual, community, and health-care interventions suggests the published evidence is scarce (appendix).

Kadhja Bonet on her sophomore album 'Childqueen'
It’s been two years since the release of Kadhja Bonet’s arresting debut LP The Visitor, which saw the LA-native deliver to us her inimitable sound – timeless, rich and winding. Over 8 tracks, Bonet layered delicate vocals into soulful, almost orchestral arrangements, and has since held our keen attention.

Denai Moore on 'Trickle' visual: 'it represents the unexpected nature of anxiety'
The first time I came across Denai Moore was around this time last year, when she opened for friend and fellow musician, Moses Sumney. It was a room-silencing performance, at the end of which I remember turning to a friend to say – “I completely forgot I was here to see anyone else.” The 23 year old already boasts four projects – including 2015 debut album Elsewhere – and returned last month with the consuming new single, ‘Trickle’.
