This Autumn, F2B brings you Jesmyn Ward's novel, Sing, Unburied, Sing.

Drawing on the likes of Morrison, Faulkner and Homer, Ward delivers an epochal story through past and present; grappling with the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power, and limitations, of the bonds of family.

Join us on the 29th Sept 5.30 - 7.30 at Sydenham Library, for a true literary journey.✨

Yesterday evening we stood together in solidarity at the vigil for Dr Jason Arday organised by Stand up to racism in Trafalgar Square. It was an evening of complex emotions. Whilst there was comfort and healing in being in community, the visceral rage persists, that we are here again.

The vile and deeply disturbing mockery continues online, gaslighting and retraumatising people showing a disturbing disregard for facts AND the dignity and grief of those mourning. Sadly none of this is new to our communities. Watching our elders work twice as hard to get half as far, recalling all the experiences of racist abuse is indeed... triggering.

Now it is time to stand together, firm and tall in the face of bigotry and call for justice for Dr Jason Arday and his family.

Naz sends our deepest condolences to Jason Arday's family for his tragic death. We are clear that the responsibility for his death lies with the unrelentless media campaign conducted by journalists, academics, global and local commentators who hounded and tormented Jason mercilessly.

As a Global Majority led charity serving Black and Brown and Latin communities, we demand a public inquiry and we expect justice. It is unacceptable and unjust that Black and Brown people have to endure this continued systematic violence in 2026. Each person of colour observing this weekend's events unfold will be acutely reminded of their own journeys navigating racism in this country. Enough is enough.

Rest in Power, Jason.

Over the last six months, the Black Women's Health Collective team, Professor Dr Jenny Douglas, Naz Medical Director Dr Vanessa Apea, and Naz Policy and Programmes Manager and BWHM Coordinator Christina Ganotakis, have travelled to Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Wales to meet with Black folks working in and passionate about achieving equitable health outcomes for Black women across the life course.

"To the people who joined us in-person and online in Glasglow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, and Wales, we thank you for sharing your reflections, ideas, desires, and grief. We are excited to continue building the community of the Collective together, and to introduce the next iteration of the Manifesto, shaped by the voices of Black women across the four nations and Republic of Ireland.

We are pleased to share that we will continue building community, capacity, and influence together as we've secured some funding to host regional conferences in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales in 2027. At these conferences, we’ll share the updated Manifesto and have workshops and seminars across Black women’s health research, programming, and wellness activities."

If you are interested in joining the Collective and/or getting involved with our activities, please email Christina Ganotakis at [email protected]

We're so pleased to have marked this year with at their office on 21 July with friends, colleagues, and loved ones from across the HIV sector.

Thank you to our speakers: and their Youth Committee who shared their reflections and experience growing up with HIV, and for their conversation on public health and the HIV response in a hostile sociopolitical climate, and Naz's Joyful Noise Choir for an absolutely incredible performance!

Naz is proud to present the fourth annual Zero HIV Stigma Day on 21 July 2026, under the theme “Fact Over Fear.” Over the last four years, the campaign has been situated within an alarming political shift to the right as people existing at the margins of our communities are being continually scapegoated to shift pressure away from government accountability.

We know that HIV stigma does not stand alone. Anti-migrant rhetoric, poor mental health, poverty, increase in hate crimes, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, and a young generation unaware of HIV continue to create the opportune conditions that deter people from testing and staying on treatment.

For those fighting for equity and justice ending HIV stigma must continue to be part of the work. We want everyone to understand whether you are working to end racism, poverty, poor mental health, substance misuse, or the hostile migrant environment, that ending HIV stigma is part of your conversation and part of your activism.

F2B is back this sunny July, shining a light on The Seers by Sulaiman Addonia.

Set between the streets of London and the memories of a country devastated by war, the novel follows young Eritrean asylum seeker Hannah, who arrives in London carrying nothing but her mother's diaries.

As she navigates Britain's immigration system and the realities of homelessness, Addonia crafts a powerful narrative exploring intergenerational history, colonial trauma, and the resilience of people whose identities are shaped by circumstance—but never defined by it.

Join us at our usual spot, Sydenham Library, from 5:30–7:30pm.

This Pride Month, Dost and Kali Kiss held a q***r film night at Naz celebrating for LGBTQ+ shorts, travelling to Bloomsbury Curzon to watch Cactus Pears, a new Indian film set in rural Maharashtram, directed and co-produced by Rohan Parashuram Kanawade. Described as an "Indian Brokeback Mountain", it was an incredibly tender and profoundly sensitive film. Read a a review from a Kali Kiss member below:

"Thank you very much to the organisers for putting together such a special and poignant showing of Cactus Pears. It was a wonderful way to spend a breezy summer evening celebrating q***r south asian love. Cactus pears is actually the reason I joined Kali Kiss - I’d been sharing that I was looking forward to see the film on its release when a Kali Kiss member mentioned that the group was organising a trip with subsidised tickets. On the day, arriving at the venue, I have to confess I was a little nervous as I hadn't met the group members beforehand but Farrah, one of the organisers, greeted us warmly. The venue - Curzon Bloomsbury - is a real treat and I got to walk around the airy veranda, grab a crisp beer and join the many other desi's relaxing in the summer air... The film was gentle and tender, and centred around a shy and diffident love that blossoms even during a period of grief for the main character, Anand. The soundscape of the film, which the director discussed in the Q&A after the film, is worth a special shout out as it is unique. Instead of using music, the film relies on authentic recorded background noises of village to immerse the viewer into Anand's experience. Overall I really enjoyed the experience, and it was a delightful way to spend a summer Friday evening."

Dost and Kali Kiss run monthly at Naz, led by our wonderful facilitators! Join Dost every first Tuesday of the month, and join Kali Kiss by filling out our form at www.naz.org.uk/kalikiss to be added to the WhatsApp group!đź’‹
