Welcome to Vol 185 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.

I had a phenomenal week last week. "Why" you ask? Because of the Met Gala, love. Every year I tell myself I'll be casual about it, and every year I'm up at midnight stalking page after page after page. And this year did not disappoint.

Sure, it's great to see global stars walk the carpet, but it’s always a special treat to see our African stars deliver at the Met Gala; and ohh they did deliver. Not just gorgeous looks (though they were very gorgeous) but storytelling, cultural pride, and bold creative vision at its finest.

Chefs kiss!
