Welcome to Vol 158 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.

October is almost over, and i won’t lie, I’m counting down the days till December. If I close my eyes for long enough, I can almost hear “Jingle Bells” playing somewhere in the distance.

But while we wait for December to officially open her gates, I’m glad to report that the culture scene is on fire right now. Black Coffee is throwing not one but two huge concerts in South Africa, and Yinka Ilori is spreading colour (as usual) across the world with his new foundation.

What’s your favourite culture story from the week?
