At Black Ballad we think the idea of 'The Black Community' can be a bit reductive. We are not a monolith, and realitically, we aren't all in community with each other – that's just not possible!

Instead, we talk about black communities, because we think that's a more helpful way to discuss the ways that we live alongside and interact with each other. And we love to read about communities up and down the United Kingdom, as well as internationally, who are surviving, thriving and changing the world for the better.
