It’s a pleasure for me to be back in the editor’s seat, editing Keep The Faith, a magazine I love and the Black History Month (BHM) edition at that. This year’s BHM comes at a time when Britain is undergoing a great shift and it’s my hope that this edition of Keep The Faith reflects that. We have paid tribute to the life of Queen Elizabeth II who lived out her Christian faith to the nation and dedicated her life to serving others through her work.
Bishop Rosemarie Mallett is our cover story. She made history by becoming the first black woman to be appointed Bishop of Croydon. Despite the progress Black people have made in British society racism still exists. Dr T Ajayi talks about overcoming mental and emotional racial trauma. Carol Stewart shares why Black History Month is always worth celebrating, a column by vegan chef Kirly Sue, health and fitness by Olivia Williams, weathering the financial story by Shane Bowes, coping with the menopause by Bukky Ayoade plus much more.
Enjoy
