    Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.

    I see some people are actually salty because Stormzy announced a scholarship for Cambridge University and helping pay for two black students to go there. Well, what moves have you made to use your platform and power to help your community?

    Wow ES. Seriously?

    Afraid this is poor from . Sadiq Khan has *consistently* spoken out against anti-Semitism. He's attended Jewish community events. He's attended HMD events. He is one of the few Labour politicians the community would vote for.

    This is great - but universities should be offering these grants themselves and asking for people like Stormzy to be ambassadors for their programmes.

    Stormzy has just announced a scholarship for Cambridge University. He'll help pay for two black students to go there this year 🎓🙌
