Operation Black Vote and Brighton & Hove City Council are working together on an initiative to encourage greater representation in civic leadership. David Weaver speaks with Kamilah McInnis about the new programme and the importance of having a voice in public life. Plus, artist Holly Oluwo, founder of Real Reds Room, shares why she relocated to Folkestone to open her dream business - an open studio gallery. And from highly anticipated film releases to major music events this summer, there’s plenty to be excited about. Our entertainment reporter, Kesewaa Browne, joins the show to tell us what we can look forward to. For great music, good energy and news from our African and Caribbean communities, join Kamilah every Friday from 7pm-10pm.
