In 2023, Black Ballad published 264 articles, in the process, putting over £100,000 in the hands of black women freelance writers, interviewers, creators and editors.

But which stories were most read, shared and engaged with by Black Ballad Members and our readers?

Introducing #BBMostRead 2023 Edition - the 26 best performing articles from Black Ballad in 2023. These stories cover a wide range of topics, from Black Brits Abroad and Relationships, to Careers and Mental Health, plus everything in between.

We are proud to give these stories and the amazing writers that worked on them the platform they deserve. Black Ballad has always been and will always be a platform that is built to serve black women as writers, creators and readers. In 2024, our 10th birthday, we look forward to telling black women's stories and taking them further than they have ever been.

Until then, we hope you enjoy #MostRead 2023 Edition.
