I went to see #kaetempest at Brixton Academy last night and it was one of the most uplifting, beautiful gigs I've ever been to. There was so much love in the room, so much resistance. The final act of the show was an absolute masterpiece, a spoken word montage of lyrics that blew me away ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This is a v imp. piece of research which deserves to be widely read and more importantly, actioned. The continued lack of wider representation clearly indicates that more needs to be done. @1972shp.bsky.social has always championed diversity but we also need to do more to ensure a fairer curriculum
