Black Rooted

Knowledge is the fuel that drives the brain to it's destiny. All thoughts and ideas become things, however the root of all things begin in darkness, blackness.

Black Rooted is a not only a social media page for empowerment, but it is also a channel for energy and knowledge that uplifts the mind, body and soul. As we know, Africa is the motherland of civilization and conscious thought; however Black people have touched every wave of the oceans and farmed every crop on earth. African ancestry covers many civilisations and dynasties over all the continents but most of the great works happened in the motherland. Black Rooted will be keeping the mission of Black Excellence alive through the subjects of: Art, Music, News, Culture, Love, History, Documentaries, Education, Media and Health. As we embark on the information age, revolutionary wisdom is emerging from Kings and Queens across the African diaspora. Being a single finger digit on this fist we all are treating to clench, it’s our duty to:

- Ensure an economic empowerment base for Black people who have been historically disempowered economically by systematic racism.
- Counter negative media propaganda and campaigns against Black people globally
- Ensure quality education for Black people globally via possible networks.
- Ensure human rights for Black people worldwide, is taught to all generations, especially those who are in areas with high levels of white fragility.

We Are Back!

What a way to kick off my tours for 2024. Thank you to this incredible group for bringing the spirit of learning to the educational experience.

It was such an honour and a pleasure in guiding a new set of attendees for the City Of London: Slave Trade Money Trail Tour.

This year August marks 5 years since we brought this excursion to the masses. Every year, we get to meet incredible minds, and collectively, we can say that having a space for discussions on history builds a unison of kindred spirits.

This group has ethnicities connected to Barbados 🇧🇧, Ireland 🇮🇪 Jamaica 🇯🇲, Nigeria 🇳🇬 , St. Lucia 🇱🇨 and Uganda 🇺🇬.

The next tour date is: Saturday 27th April.

All tickets are available via our bio or eventbrite:

Another tour, another experience.

Thank you to this incredible bunch of keen thinkers. The laughter and intense emotions kept us all warm.

We are ever so grateful to have the space and capacity to bring people together under one common cause; to learn the true history hidden in plain sight.

There is only one tour left of the year:

Saturday, 2nd December 2023.

And that's a wrap!

City of London: Slave Trade Money Trail Tour Black History Month special is over.

Thank you to the 21 guests who made the final day so special. This incredible group has roots that span across the USA, Africa, Europe, and Asia.

We are overwhelmed by the amazing people I have met this month. To be able to bring people together to discuss history on a wider perspective is a blessing. We can't stress enough how much we can all grow together by sharing thoughts and ideas.

The most heated tour to date.

A lot was discussed, and personal thoughts were shared, including our CEO and tour guide .blake being told he "𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗲." Another expression (whilst on a Slave Trade Tour) was that they "𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲."

Despite this, it was a good conversation, and sometimes, a difference of opinions is needed as a reminder that there are some people who will protect racist ideology until the end.

This team of thinkers have roots and nationalities connected to France 🇫🇷, Guinea 🇬🇳, Hungary 🇭🇺, India 🇮🇳, Jamaica 🇯🇲, Liechtenstein 🇱🇮 and Malaysia 🇲🇾

The debates amongst the attendees lead to emotions being high, which left us all thinking that more teachings of true history need to be done at an earlier age.

What an amazing tour!

Thank you to this amazing group for an energetic learning experience. This group had roots connected to Belgium 🇧🇪, Ethiopa 🇪🇹, Jamaica 🇯🇲, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, South Africa 🇿🇦, Spain 🇪🇸, and St. Lucia 🇱🇨

The more conversations that happen around British colonialism, the more we realise the impact England has had across the globe.

The past 500 years have brought some of the most disturbing treatment of human lives in history. The national curriculum points to national heroes, but the truth points towards the racist, classist, misogynistic mindset that plagued Britain into being the most deadliest criminal in modern history.

Thank you to Toni Show & Geoff Foughnor for flying in from LA 🇺🇸 and booking a private City Of London: Slave Trade Tour.

It was a pleasure to be able to provide you both with the obscured history of Britain. It was also an honour to be your reference for the Black experience in the UK for your first trip to England.

Only water separates us. However, our legacy for the fight for truth and freedom is the same. The more we discuss similarities, the more we reconnect to our unified fight for reparations and justice.

If you or your organisation would like to book a private tour, please feel free to send us a DM or email [email protected]

Back to it ✊🏾

Perfect weather for a perfect day. Thank you to those who joined the Bank Holiday Edition of the City Of London: Slave Trade Money Trail Tour.

This was the first time in a very long time that attendees used a pen and paper instead of the notes app on their phones. We strongly believe you retain information more when you write details down by hand.

The next tour date is: Saturday 24th June.

Thank you to for booking a private tour for some amazing minds from the U.S. 🇺🇸 These brilliant people possess expertise that span across Health and Wellbeing, Equality and Injustice, Childcare, Entrepreneurship and the spectrum of all things being a Nanny.

It was a pleasure bringing the UK Black experience to light and discussing truth behind the monarchy. Whilst the conversation of Critical Race Theory is currently potent, we think it's important to highlight the global contrast of oppressed and suppressed power. From the large Black population in America's to the small population in the island of St. Helena, the British has created a hierarchy of privilege as a result of the abolition of the biggest crime in human history.

My amazing guests are here for the International Nanny Conference 2023

NannyCON is an international conference that focuses on professional development and self care for Nannies and Childcare workers. The conference features yoga and mindfulness sessions, panel discussions, and high-quality training workshops and seminars from experts in the field. Their goal is to educate, inspire, and inform attendees with new learning resources, ideas, and activities, as well as self-care practices.

The conference is running from:
Saturday 29th April - Sunday 30th April
