The Liberation Initiatives, a black-owned business and force for systematic change against the social and economic disadvantages faced by the black community, is partnering with award-winning creative agency Rhapsody to launch five A4 magazines to be distributed as part of a national broadsheet newspaper during October 2021 to celebrate Black History Month.

Educational, sophisticated and thought-provoking, the Liberation Initiatives will deliver ground-breaking content to a readership of 1.1 million people, turning its back on the negative black narrative and acting as a positive force for change. 

As part of this mission, the titles are looking for writers, editors and photographers to shape the content and for black-owned restaurants, brands, businesses, charities and organisations and exhibitions, books, films and TV shows that champion black talent. The five magazines will each cover a key theme: Arts & Entertainment, Fashion & Beauty, Sport & Wellbeing, Criminal Justice & Finance and Allyship, and each will have a prominent figure in the black community as its guest editor.
