Welcome to Vol 141 of the Spread!

Hello and welcome back to the Spread, your weekly edit of all the best stories and global news about Africans shaping mainstream culture.

So before July shows up with its own noise, take a breath, scroll slowly, and treat yourself to all the good stuff we’ve lined up this week.
