Celebrating Black History Month by highlighting Black bookshops this week. Next is Black-owned bookshop Lolwe Books previously based in Peckham before moving fully online this year due to rising costs. They still offer a wide range of Black writing that ‘is often ignored.’ 🙌🏾

@modernhistory Seeing her in her new film, I don't think Pamela Anderson looks that different from before her no makeup era. What unsettles people isn’t her lack of glam, it's their fear of aging. Her bare face forces them to confront time and now they’re just begging for the illusion back.
