Our assistant editor Saskia Calliste, and co-author Zainab Raghdo are releasing new book 'Hairvolution'. A book of interviews with 31 influential Black women about the history and politics of Black women's hair and the journey to self-love and acceptance in Western society.

In this two-part column, I’ll be exploring examples of superhero TV shows which portray powerful depictions of grief, loss, mental health and what we should learn from their insights. 

Our panellists will explore Asian Representation in TV, Film and Theatre, what more can be done & why Asian creatives are not being represented in our industry. Chaired by Daniel York Loh.

This is my Unit 1 Part D, Arts issue for Gold Award.
