Today's word
New word in
Every day at midnight, UK time.
Talks, listening parties and creative challenges. The conversation, in the room.
Three multidisciplinary artists, raised Black and British with Ghanaian and Nigerian roots.
None of us took a straight path into the creative industry, and each of us has felt how hard it can be for Black creatives in the UK to reach the right opportunities. We found each other's work online, the group chat turned into friendship, and the friendship turned into Rule of Thirds: a space to share what we've learned, learn from each other and build something useful for the wider community.

Away from the screen he co-founded BULLY THE ROADS, a grassroots London running club, and Track + Play, an annual community sports day.
