In our podcasts, we want to dedicate a small portion at the end of our episode to raise awareness of an issue or support a business/idea. This week we wanted to support a new platform called ‘The Black Book’. This is a platform to showcase and promote black creatives in the UK. On their website, they have a catalogue of artists who specialise in a variety of different art forms from video, photo, design, style, and more. It’s a great platform to allow black creatives to be discovered and find new opportunities. They are currently accepting submissions for more UK based black creatives to join their catalogue and they are a great page to follow on social media to integrate more black art into your feed. Please check them and show them some support by clicking the links below: http://theblack-book.co.uk/creative-home/ https://www.instagram.com/theblackbook_uk/ Follow us on social media: Insta - @wakeup_podcast Twitter - @wakeup_podcast
