Being a Pan-African professional isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about asking better questions, and letting them change how you work.

It’s choosing alignment over optics.

Collective impact over individual applause.

Healing alongside resistance.

Pan-Africanism, in practice, asks us to be intentional with our labour, our money, our voices, and our wellbeing.

This is not about perfection.

It’s about commitment.

The tribute to Patrice Lumumba at AFCON reminded us that African liberation has always come at a cost, and that freedom remains unfinished. We honour Lumumba and Africa’s fallen pan-African leaders whose visions still shape the struggle today.

They tried to silence the vision.

Instead, they created a legacy.

The tribute to Patrice Lumumba at AFCON reminded us that African joy, culture, and excellence are inseparable from African struggle and resistance. Lumumba, and so many pan-African leaders after him, were assassinated not for violence, but for vision: sovereignty, dignity, and liberation without permission.

Freedom is not a moment we arrive at. It is a constant struggle—defended, renewed, and carried across generations.

We remember Patrice Lumumba.

We honour Africa’s fallen visionaries.

And we recommit to the futures they imagined.

The future is Africa. And the future is us.

POLICY & THE PEOPLE — Week 2: Employment, Jobs & Business Support

There’s £500 million in funding for businesses led by Black, ethnically minoritised and female fund managers — plus employment laws, diversity schemes, and job pathways already in place.

So why aren’t more Black young people and founders accessing them?

This week, we’re breaking down what’s actually happening — from new employment protections and pay transparency laws to job schemes, mentoring pathways, and Black-focused business funds — and how to use them strategically, not accidentally.

This isn’t theoretical.

It’s real capital, real law, real opportunity — sitting in the system right now.

Special thanks to Roots Policy Consulting for the research backing this series. Every Wednesday, we’re translating policy into opportunities you can use.

Have you accessed any job schemes, diversity programmes, or business funding?

Today we honour the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King reminded us that justice is not abstract — it is built through daily choices, courageous conversations, and collective action rooted in love and dignity.

At Bounce Black, we carry forward this legacy by supporting Black students and professionals to heal, thrive, and challenge systems that harm our wellbeing — in education, in work, and in society.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

May we continue to be part of the bending.

📣 Policy & The People is a new weekly series breaking down what’s happening in politics and public policy — and what it actually means for Black communities and the wider diaspora.

Each week, we focus on one policy area and its real-world impact on Black youth, families, and professionals, turning complex decisions into clear insight you can use. This series is about understanding policy not as something distant or abstract, but as a tool for awareness, opportunity, and collective power.

🤔 Ever wondered how education policy actually shows up in real life?

This week on Policy & The People, we’re starting with Education & Skills and breaking down how policy decisions affect Black students, families, and professionals.

Policy isn’t abstract — it shapes real lives. So, we’re breaking down the jargon to inform you about what’s happening, why it matters, and what it means for us. Because understanding policy is power. Take your power back!

Read, reflect, and join the conversation.

📢 Black Learning Achievement and Mental Health () is a not for profit organisation creating spaces of joy and freedom for Black people in the UK through projects and campaigns.

BLAM UK is committed to protecting Black communities from the harms of AI-driven policing and centring the voices of those most impacted.

They are currently running their AI Accountability Community Survey, which aims to gather insights from Black communities in London (and the rest of England) about experiences and perspectives on policing, surveillance, and technology. The findings will feed into their policy and advocacy work focused on building more equitable AI systems.

You can contribute to this by filling out their survey via the link in their bio, which will take up to 10-12 minutes to complete.

Follow them on Instagram and X to keep up with the project.

In 2026, we’re setting intentions, not unrealistic expectations.
