She was a single mother from a council estate in Kilburn, told that Black music was too niche, that there was no market for it, and that the industry simply wasn’t interested.
Instead of arguing, she built the first MOBO Awards aired to the nation — and the game changed.
Rest in peace

Many unmarried, cohabiting couples have limited legal protections if their relationship ends or a partner dies, even after long-term relationships or raising children together.
Labour is consulting on reforms to strengthen the legal protections available to these couples.
There are not enough words that can fully encapsulate the impact of someone so committed to the profiling and uplifting of Black music in this country.
Ms Kanya's legacy is one of such cultural and community significance that it shall be known across many generations.
RIP.
Surtout qu’en général ils y vont simplement pour s’enrichir en proposant des projets pour les bourgeois etc c rarement des choses qui bénéficient aux populations
