theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 27/06/2025Dominoes is more than a game. For the Windrush generation + their descendants. It's a gateway that bridges generations, blends cultures, + echoes the rhythm of home on foreign soil. 031
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 21/06/2025Fundraiser Mongi + Kuda led worship at their fundraiser ahead of October’s Cambodia mission trip building wells, toilets, renovating a church + more. Every donation helps cover travel, food + insurance. Support here: www.gofundme.com/f/kuda-mongi... 011
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 28/05/2025My last view of Jamaica. Land we love. Tourists arrive free. Windrush left with no return. Cruise ships dock. Migrant boats are blocked. Souvenir shops sell island life but not Marcus Garvey. The colonial era is over, but its passport still decides who gets welcome. 020
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 27/05/2025Revolution doesn’t always wear a slogan. Sometimes it sounds like dominoes slapping wood and a story told over rum. The rum shop is a classroom. A confessional. A strategy room in disguise. Freedom dreams live here. Ask Robin D.G. Kelley. 0101
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 26/05/2025Dominoes is more than a game. In Jamaica, it's strategy, rhythm and resistance. You don’t choose your hand, you choose how you play it. As Robin D. G. Kelley says, even play is political. In dominoes, Black joy becomes memory, mastery and freedom. 050
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 11/05/2025Prayer is less about miracles + more about recognising our shared vulnerability + hope. In naming another’s struggle, we often uncover our own. To pray for someone is to honour their humanity + in doing so, affirm our own. 050
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 10/05/2025In that moment, a song of worship filled the air. If I had to offer a song now, it would be one from The Preacher’s Wife. It feels most fitting for this moment of reflection. I love the Lord He heard my cry And pitied every groan Long as I, I live And troubles rise I'll hasten to His throne 030
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 07/05/2025As the season draws its final breath, the faithful in Bradford lift their voices to a hard-earned ascent to Division 1. And in that chorus of triumph, comes the chant that binds them: And it's Bradford City, Bradford City FC, We're by far the greatest team, The world has ever seen. 010

theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 15/04/2025Mr Chops. The man behind the drums. The heartbeat in the room. The pulse that carried us higher. Presence like no other. Energy that moved through bodies and bone. Musicianship that left the ordinary far behind. Band: TC and The Groove Family 000

theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 08/03/2025Life is a song, sing it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a dream, realise it. Life is a sacrifice, offer it. Life is love, enjoy it – Sai Baba 050

theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 02/02/2025I remember Tom Stoddart saying he never used sloping horizons. I held on to his every word for a long time before I gave myself permission to create images like this. 080

theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 27/01/2025One from the weekend. The message behind the moment: Whether you like it or not, someone will eventually take your place. But as long as you’re here, live with purpose and make your mark. 060
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 25/12/2024It's Christmas 2024. This scene could well be Christmas 1977. Seats for grandparents + a Christmas album full of carols. Silent night, holy night echoes throughout the house + the ages. The sound of Kings College Choir will soon give way to stories of Christmas past. 040
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 24/12/2024Dinner is served. This plate, which is usually served on Christmas Day morning, includes food fit for Olympic champions. 030
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 24/12/2024It wouldn't be a Jamaican kitchen without these. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 000
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 24/12/2024It wouldn't be Christmas without the preparation of Jamaica's national dish. Here, one half of the dish, heavily salted fish, is rinsed then left to soak in water before being boiled. This changes the flavour profile + reduces the chances of high blood pressure. 140
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 05/12/2024This time next year, I'll be in the high hills of Portland, Jamaica to close a chapter that still enriches me. My late mother's prayers continue to bless me while God's grace keeps me. 060
theBLKGZE @theblkgze.com · 29/11/2024Janet Charles, the acting High Commissioner of the Dominica High Commission recently visited my home town to unveil a blue plaque to remember + recognise 45 years of community activism. This association continues to support + champion the community. 060
