Welcome to Vol 173 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.

Hope you're all doing good! Valentine's Day just passed, and honestly, I just wanted to check in and say I hope you felt loved and special, whether you were out with someone who makes your heart do backflips, laughing with your people, or having a solid night in with yourself. And in the spirit of celebrating love in all its forms, we dropped a little Galentine’s Day piece to mark the launch of our new newsletter. 🥳

Speaking of love though, I'm SO gassed to tell you about our first ever JAM of the year. We've been holding this one close and now it's finally time! This one's for everybody. Single and ready to mingle? Pull up. Coupled up? Bring your person. Somewhere in between? Come over anyway.

It's going to be so special and I genuinely can't wait to see you there. Don’t wait to get your tickets!

Mary x,
