Sabie pulled up to the Black History Month event looking like royalty in her traditional attire but what she shared was even more powerful.

We spoke about Black health, cultural pride, and the importance of getting yourself checked. Whether it’s diabetes, high blood pressure, sickle cell or fibroids early knowledge saves lives.

Health isn’t just about treatment. It’s about ownership.

📹 Watch Sabie’s wise words — from culture to clinic.
🎯 This is how we rewrite the health story in our community.

Let’s stop calling it “just a little bit of sugar.”
Diabetes is one of the biggest health risks in Black communities across the UK — and it’s not just about eating sweets.

We’re talking about years of high-starch diets, sugary drinks, no breakfast, late-night eating, stress, and lack of proper sleep.
All of that adds up.

I’ve met people in their 20s already pre-diabetic. Some don’t even know it until something goes wrong. And sadly, in the UK, Black African and Caribbean communities are 3 to 5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

It’s not about “selling out your culture.” It’s about learning how to eat what you love — without letting it kill you slowly.

Things you can do NOW:
✅ Drink more water. You’d be surprised how much less you snack.
✅ Shrink the mountain of rice and double the veg.
✅ Swap juice for herbal tea or infused water — still flavour, less risk.
✅ Get checked. Ask your GP about your HbA1c (blood sugar test) even if you feel fine.

What an inspiring moment! 🙌🏾

I sat down with Councillor Maxine Sadza, the first woman of colour to represent Southend Council, during our local Black History Month celebration.

We talked about Black health, representation, and what it means to keep showing up for our communities. Her commitment to service and wellbeing is truly something to celebrate.

🎥 More interviews coming soon from this event — highlighting local voices making a difference

“Being big doesn’t run in the family — bad habits do.”

This Black History Month, we’re not just looking back, we’re stepping up.

These are 5 health conditions hitting Black folks hardest. And no, it’s not just “genetics” or “culture.” It's time to talk real about how we eat, live, and manage stress.

This isn’t about shame rather it’s about knowledge and choice.

✊🏾 You can love fufu or jollof and still love your body.

👉🏾 Which one do you want me to go deeper on next?

It’s Black History Month. And while I’m not always a fan of the label, I am a fan of using this moment to talk about things that actually matter to our communities, like our health.Let’s be real: too many of us are walking around normalizing things that shouldn’t be normal.“I’m big becau...

Our food tells our story but sometimes, the way we cook it tells a story our bodies don’t love 😅
From frying everything in oil to over-salting for flavour, it’s no wonder we see higher rates of heart disease and high blood pressure in our communities.
The good news? We can still enjoy the foods we love just cook them smarter.

Winter’s coming… and so are the grey days! ❄️ Feeling sluggish, craving comfort food, or low on energy? You’re not alone.

I’ve noticed the term ‘it’s flu season’ thrown around a lot, newsflash: there’s no such thing! What we’re really facing is shorter days, colder weather, and less sunshine. Your body notices, but you can beat the seasonal slump with a few practical tweaks.

In this week’s blog, I share:
✅ How to boost energy with light & movement
✅ Smart comfort food swaps
✅ Immune-friendly tips & routines
✅ A mini seasonal challenge to try this week

I’ve also noticed the term “it’s flu season” being thrown around a lot lately. News flash: there is no such thing as flu season. What we’re really facing is a perfect storm of shorter days, colder weather, less sunshine, heavier diets, and reduced activity and our bodies definitely notice.

🩰💪 Male dancers need more than choreography — they need fuel.
Inspired by Nylah’s article, I’ve written a follow-up guide for boys, teens, and men in dance (and their parents). Practical tips, a few laughs, and plenty of fuel to keep our future stars strong.

She said: “Food isn’t about restriction — it’s about giving my body the energy it needs to dance, grow, and feel strong.” That line stuck with me. Because it’s not only true for her, but also for every boy tying his ballet shoes, every teen pushing through rehearsals, and every dad still...

💜 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Over 10 years ago, I lost my mum, Catherine Mhlaba, and my brother to su***de. I’ve also had my own moments of darkness.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: su***de prevention isn’t always about the big gestures. Sometimes it’s about slowing down, being kind, and simply seeing someone.

✨ One kind word.
✨ 8 minutes of your time.
✨ One small act of kindness each day.

These things might not feel like much — but they can change everything.

I’ve written a new blog sharing my journey, what I’ve learned, and how we can all play a role in prevention.

Here’s how I’ve come to understand it:Suicidal thoughts aren’t just sadness. They’re what happens when you stay too long in a negative mental space, hopelessness, shame, isolation, until it becomes corrosive to your health. That’s when the idea of not being here anymore creeps in. It’s n...
