@BibliophileVic Yep it's a tri island with mainland Grenada, Carriacou and then Petite Martinique.

Hurricane Beryl devastated Carriacou, destroying its beloved museum and risking vital cultural stories. Every donation helps rebuild this important space, ensuring it for future generations. Please share and contribute to preserve Carriacou’s rich legacy. https://t.co/2UwfwL5sFq

@BibliophileVic Beryl was first

In 1987, Janet Adegoke made history as the first Black African woman to serve as a mayor in London.

As mayor in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, she built a reputation for empathy and community work, supporting causes ranging from sickle cell advocacy to mental health and welfare for the elderly.

She was also a founding member of the Africa Link, an initiative created to support Africans in Britain facing loneliness, depression, and social isolation.

Colleagues described her as warm but firm, a leader who commanded respect and used her office to bring people together across communities.

Less than five months into her tenure, Adegoke died at 47 after a period of illness, cutting short a public service career many believed still had far to go.

Her death drew a large, emotional response, with tributes pouring in from across the communities she served.
