Protecting Our Crowns: Sadia Kabeya’s Satin Scrum Cap Is Changing the Game

Posted byblam UKApril 18, 2025April 18, 2025Posted inblog, Opinion
🚨 HAS FACIAL RECOGNITION TARGETED YOU? After a knife attack in north Belfast, racist violence quickly spread beyond the facts of the case. Black and migrant communities were targeted, homes were attacked, addresses were shared online, and families were forced to flee. What can you expect at Rooted & Crowned? 👑 🚨MEET THE PANEL Today we honour Kanya King, founder of the MOBO Awards and one of the most influential architects of Black British cultural history. 👑 ROOTED AND CROWNED 👑 Join us for an afternoon celebrating Black hair as a source of identity, creativity, culture and community. Through powerful conversations, visual storytelling and community connection, we will explore the history, politics, beauty and significance of Black hair across generations in Britain. Expect a panel discussion, visual archive exhibition, networking opportunities, brand activations and more. Justice for Yves Sakila. Across Ireland and beyond, Black communities are demanding truth, accountability and justice after Yves Sakila was killed in Dublin following violent restraint. His killing has sparked grief, outrage and urgent conversations about anti-Black racism and whose lives are protected. BLAM UK PRESENTS ROOTED & CROWNED: The Power and Art of Black Hair on Saturday 13 June (3PM–6PM) at Orchard Gardens Community Centre, London SE13 7LQ. Expect a powerful afternoon of visual storytelling, panel discussions, community space, food, drinks and a Kids Fun Zone.
