Really honoured our @BBCRadio4 #Fileon4 exposing modern slavery in the care sector has been shortlisted for the @HumanTraffFdn Anti-Slavery Day Awards. None of this would be possible without ‘Terri’ who trusted us to tell her story and the many others we spoke to in its making

“Kanye is NOT a gospel artist. He’s an artist that did a gospel record.” Gospel artist @marvinsapp talks to @IzzyGreenfield about how he had no issue with Ye doing gospel but DOES hold issue with artists who come into gospel and monopolise the charts. https://t.co/BcVDOVKZTG
