Running through our history: Brixton’s walls 🖤🏃🏾‍♀️

Continuing my BHM run through Brixton, exploring the stories told through its public art.

🧡 We Are Brixton, by Create Not Destroy, brings together portraits and familiar local landmarks beneath a bold statement of belonging.

Community, culture and pride, painted onto the walls.

#BlackHistoryMonth #Brixton #BlackCulture #BrixtonMurals #StreetArt RunningThroughHistory

🎶 What’s Going On, by Dreph, celebrates the 50th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s iconic album while also referencing the 1981 Brixton uprising.

The protest signs draw on the album’s lyrics and song titles, carrying messages about love, peace, equality and protecting our children.

Music and art giving voice to questions that still resonate today. 🖤

☮️ Nuclear Dawn, by Brian Barnes and Dale McCrea, depicts the threat of nuclear war looming over London—a powerful call for peace.

Together, these murals made me think about community, creativity and the power of art to speak out.

One of my favourite things about these runs is discovering how much there is to learn when we pause along the way.

Let’s start the week strong 💪🏿💜

Every session is another opportunity to build strength, grow in confidence and get a little closer to your goals.

Some days you’ll lift heavier. Other days, showing up and doing what you can is the win. It all counts.

One session, one rep, one small win at a time.

What’s one thing you’re committing to this week? 👇🏿

Running through our history: Railton Road 🖤🏃🏾‍♀️

Another stop on my BHM run through Brixton brought me to A Wall of Respect for the Radical Histories of Railton Road, outside 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning.

Designed by Jacob V Joyce and Monique Jackson and painted with the R.A.D Mural Collective in 2021, it commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Brixton uprisings.

There is so much history within this one wall. Figures including Olive Morris, Liz Obi, Darcus Howe and Pearl Alcock appear alongside references to community spaces, sound system culture, education and resistance to racism and police harassment.

And the stories continue beneath our feet.

Painted onto the nearby pavement is poetry by Malika Booker, bringing together the pain of stop and search, the defiance of resistance and the music of everyday Black life. Part of the 81 Acts of Exuberant Defiance street poetry project, it gives you another reason to stop and look closely.

Having grown up in Brixton, these runs are giving me a reason to pause and learn more about the history of the streets I know. Stories told through images on walls and words on the pavement — keeping that history visible.

Movement, art and curiosity, with a little more understanding at every stop. 🖤

Running through our history: Stockwell Memorial Gardens 🖤🏃🏾‍♀️

Another stop on my BHM run, and another reason to slow down and look closer.

The war memorial honours local people who lost their lives in the First World War. But the mural beside it tells a wider story of Stockwell’s community, including the Empire Windrush and the Caribbean arrivals who made Stockwell and Brixton their home. A reminder that Black British history is woven into the history of these streets.

There’s also a portrait of Vincent van Gogh, who once lived nearby on Hackford Road. As an art teacher, I loved discovering that connection!

Nearby stands Bronze Woman: a mother holding her child, inspired by Guyanese poet Cécile Nobrega’s poem. It honours Black Caribbean women and the love, sacrifice and determination carried across generations.

Different stories sharing one small space — remembrance, migration, creativity and motherhood. This is why I’m enjoying these runs: discovering how much history sits around us when we take the time to notice.

Running through our history: Caroline Chinakwe 🖤🏃🏾‍♀️

My next BHM run stop took me to Outernet at Tottenham Court Road to see Caroline Chinakwe’s This Is Us showcase.

I already love Caroline’s work and own a few of her T-shirts, so seeing her pieces fill these huge screens was something special. Now I just need to invest in a larger piece for my home! 😍

Caroline is a Lagos-born, UK-based mixed-media artist whose work brings together African cultural influences and contemporary Western aesthetics. I love the bold colours, layered patterns and the way Black identity takes centre stage.

For Black History Month, 26 pieces from This Is Us are being displayed at Outernet. The collection celebrates the many sides of identity, making space for beauty, joy, vulnerability and strength.

I ended up waiting about an hour to see it. Just when I thought I might miss out, the screen operator kindly put it on for me. It was worth the wait! 🖤

This is another part of what I want to explore through these runs: celebrating the Black artists creating today, alongside the history and stories that have shaped us.

In collaboration with Bridge & Bloom Creative Arts CIC, bringing movement, creativity and community together.

Running through our history: Children at Play 🖤🏃🏾‍♀️

I grew up seeing this mural every day. Back then, it was just a painting on a wall to me; part of the scenery, something familiar that I never really questioned. I didn’t realise how special it was or know the story behind it.

Returning to it on my BHM run gave me a reason to look again.

Painted by Stephen Pusey and completed in 1982, Children at Play sits behind Brixton Academy on Stockwell Park Walk. It was commissioned as part of Lambeth’s mural programme following the 1981 Brixton uprisings.

Local residents helped shape its direction. They wanted a more celebratory image of their community, and the result was a colourful scene of children from different racial backgrounds playing together — full of movement, energy and joy.

Knowing that now makes me see a familiar piece of my childhood differently. It’s art that carries the voices and hopes of the community I grew up in.

That’s what this series is about for me: combining movement, art, history and curiosity to discover the stories around us — including the ones we’ve walked past all our lives.

In collaboration with Bridge & Bloom Creative Arts CIC, connecting movement, creativity and community stories. 🖤

Is there a mural or landmark you grew up seeing but only later learned the story behind?

Black History Month: running through our history. 🖤

This BHM, I’m combining movement, art and Black British history — and I’m excited to be doing it in collaboration with Bridge & Bloom Creative Arts CIC. 🎨🌸

Bridge & Bloom works to bridge gaps within the creative community, creating opportunities through arts education, artist support, mentoring, apprenticeships and workshops. So it felt like the perfect collaboration for a series exploring the Black stories, artists and creativity that exist all around us.

For the first run, I took to the streets of South London, running between murals, monuments and places connected to Black culture, resistance, creativity and community.

Some I knew. Some I discovered for the first time. And every stop gave me a reason to slow down, look closer and learn something.

And this is just the beginning.

Throughout October, SheBuilds x Bridge & Bloom will be sharing more of the artworks, people and stories behind the places I visited — bringing together movement, creativity and community to celebrate Black History Month.

Because our history isn’t only something to read about. It’s all around us. 🖤

REVIEW. REFINE. IMPROVE. 🎥🏋🏾‍♀️

Film your workouts.

Not for vanity.
Not because every set needs to become content.

Film so you can see what you can’t always feel.

I regularly record my lifts and watch them back.
Is my positioning right?
Am I controlling the movement?
Has my form changed as the weight gets heavier?

Then I adjust and go again.

This stiff-leg deadlift is no different.

You don’t need perfect form on day one. The goal is to keep learning, refining and getting better.

Because progress isn’t just adding more weight to the bar.

Sometimes progress is performing the same movement better than you did last time.

Review. Refine. Improve.

Save this as your reminder to film a set in your next session — and actually watch it back with the aim to improve. 💪🏿
