I can’t speak for others but the Dominica Association of Bradford, the Bradford West Indian Parents Association, my grandmothers and their community along with my parents raised me 🤝🇩🇲🤝
It’s all about creating the institutions, attending the events & preserving them.

i often see the phrase "Black-British culture" function to represent black cultures in London. i rarely see the phrase including/representing black-british culture external of london.

@jojoldn I think there is but not everyone “black” and British has that (the same) experience. Because they don’t relate to it, they don’t believe it exists.

@VVbrown you’re spittin! I think another layer to your valid points is that you aren’t from ‘ends’ either. being Black from outta london already gets us unfairly placed in some weird unspoken ‘othered’ box anyway, especially back in the day. so getting fully embraced in this place? long.

The spaces I spent my childhood in really have influenced me.
Having these physical spaces really does make a difference in what you can do community wise. Wherever we can we have to pitch in to make sure we can buy and own our buildings. We NEED to.
