From its roots in the 1970s black community, Apollo Youth Club continues to support young people in Reading today. Its chair Jackie Daniel, who attended as a child, shares why it's still a vital community space.
Kanndiss Riley, founder of NBE Fitness, joins the show to talk about her inclusive gym in Margate and how her work has earned royal recognition. Plus, a tribute to Whitney Houston on what would have been her 62nd birthday - celebrating 40 years since her record-breaking debut.
For music and powerful stories from across our African and Caribbean communities, join Kamilah every Friday from 7-10pm.
