I welcome the Government's commitment to improving Black men's participation in clinical trials. But if Black men are recognised as high-risk group for prostate cancer,why is there still no targeted screening programme? BBC Radio 5 Live: https://t.co/pSYHjCBuB1

2/6 That’s why the East London Youth Skillathon matters.

It’s not just an event.

It’s a direct response to despair.

It proves that we can come together.

👊There is power in numbers, impact in community, and real results when we choose to build.

Honoured to receive these @CaribbeanGlobalAwards at a deeply personal time. I dedicate them to my parents (92 & soon 95) – true Windrush pioneers whose resilience, faith & sacrifice shaped generations. Despite recent loss & challenges, family unity carried us through.

This work draws on journeys along the East African and Omani coast (2008–10), supported by @CloreLeadership, reflecting on how memory travels across generations and geographies.

Pleased to share my essay “The Doors of Perception – Carved Doors and the Indian Ocean Slave Trade” published in @SeaVoiceOrg’s East Africa special edition.

[Patrick Vernon @ppvernon]

For diasporic communities, carved doors are more than heritage objects. They are repositories of memory—holding stories of enslavement, migration, loss and survival across the Indian Ocean world.
