Welcome to Vol 152 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.

Fashion, music, cinema; Africa’s voices are everywhere this week, Tolu Coker is flipping fashion on its head, Idris Elba is betting big on African film, and dancers across Africa are rewriting stories with every move they make.

It’s a reminder that while all the headlines feel huge, the real story is about people choosing to create boldly. And if I’m being real, I needed that push today.

Maybe you do too.
