I want to believe with all my heart. Learning and thinking as much as I can. Building beautiful things.

With private equity trying to buy up Brixton Village and Market Row, local traders face the threat of higher rents and evictions.

Amid widespread local opposition, they are launching an emergency counter-bid to bring the market under community ownership.

You observe before you interpret. That order never reverses, even when you are unaware that you are doing it. What you rarely see is your own way of observing, the angle you take and the desire you carry into the looking. So when the interpretation goes wrong, the error is seldom born there. The misreading is not the failure itself. It is the place where a failure further back finally shows its face.

Rumi was right when he said the path appears only after you start walking. Clarity comes from action not from waiting.

Kanya King CBE was told Black music had no market.

She founded MOBO. 30 years later, Black music is 80% of Britain’s recorded music revenue. £24.5 billion.

She was told she was unrealistic. She built a 30-year cultural revolution. She didn’t argue. She just built. My tribute👇🏾

Two great years can undo a decade of damage. Most people spend ten years regretting the last ten. The ones who win spend two years moving so fast the past can't catch them.

It is with immeasurable sorrow that the MOBO Organisation announces the passing of its Founder and CEO, Kanya King CBE.

Kanya passed away peacefully on 3 June 2026 after a courageous and characteristically determined battle with colon cancer. She was surrounded by her family, close friends and love.

Thirty years ago, Kanya King remortgaged her home, alone, without institutional backing or industry support, to build a stage that would transform British music forever.

She was a single mother from a Kilburn council estate who was told that Black music was too niche, that there was no market and that the industry was not interested. Instead of arguing, she built. Six weeks later, the first MOBO Awards was broadcast to the nation, and nothing was ever the same again.

What Kanya created was never simply an awards ceremony. It was an act of cultural justice. MOBO did not just celebrate Black music; it legitimised it, amplified it and transformed the cultural landscape of the UK.

From Stormzy, Little Simz and RAYE to Craig David, Ms. Dynamite, Amy Winehouse, Central Cee and countless others, generations of artists have benefited from Kanya King's vision.

She built a platform that reached hundreds of millions of people around the world. She was awarded a CBE and received an Ivors Academy Honour in 2025. She never stopped. She never asked for permission. She never accepted that the word “no” was final.

When she stood on the MOBO stage in Newcastle in February 2025, just months after her diagnosis, she told the audience: “I never allowed someone to define my limits. Not in life. Not in business. And I’m certainly not going to have that happen now.”

That was Kanya King. Right to the very end.

The 2026 MOBO Awards, held during the Organisation’s landmark 30th anniversary year, will be dedicated entirely to her memory.

The world was a profoundly better place with Kanya King in it. The MOBO family is heartbroken, but endlessly grateful, proud and inspired by everything she gave to music, culture and future generations.

Rest in power, Kanya.

You built this.

All of it.

Nietzsche was right, you’ll either become who you were meant to be or spend your life making excuses for the man you never became.

Distance yourself from people who play status and power games.

Invite people into your life that play value creation and wisdom sharing.

An artist’s visual identity has always shaped how their music is consumed. Social media avatar, typography, merch, press shots. Consistent branding makes you easier to recognize and builds loyalty quicker.

Extraordinary article.

London’s population grew by 543k 2014-2024, but its population of under 9s fell 107k.

This isn’t just about fertility rates. We are building cities for nimby boomers, investors & affluent young professionals. Not families. https://t.co/cZmv8TNtic

Attention is the currency of formation. What you listen to over time becomes what you believe, and what you listen for becomes what you see. The noise of the age is not accidental; it is designed to capture you. Discernment begins with the question of what you will allow to shape your hearing.
