OUR FIRST TATLER! In the ambient inhumanity of War - READ OUR PEACE PALESTINE-ISREAL INITIATIVE HERE there is a necessity for the mind to escape. When that cover of Tatler came up on our instagram feeds, we had to feature it on our Monaco page!
The interview and the fashion provided a welcome relief when the mind is saturated with inhumanity. We even had fashion student reaching out to us to add our comments to their work after we shared that cover on our instagram!
It is a great cover and the video of it is one of the most views for Tatler.
As Tatler described in their article: 'Welcome to the Alexandre Grimaldi era'

https://athena-africalives.weebly.com/kenzo.html
The realisation that NOTHING has changed in Knife crime prevention and reduction in London since we did our KENZO project over 10 years ago.
The word salad by the British Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan along Party lines politics demonstrate the ignorance and complete lack of care for an issue mainly impacting BLACK TEENAGERS. BLACK KIDS. BLACK FAMILIES.
And the hight of stupidness and the same arguments from 10 YEARS AGO 'Oh it's because the Conservative closed community centers'!
Really? and adding internet algorythm as an excuse in the mix! Over 150 teenagers death by knife crime under Sadiq Khan Mayorship. Who cares?
Why is there not comprehensive teachings IN SCHOOLS ABOUT KNIFE CRIME PREVENTION, TEACHING DE-ESCALATION METHODS TO KIDS and CONFLICT RESOLUTION!??!
Often these arguments are about the pettiest thing which snowballs into beefs and PERCEPTION OF 'DISRESPECT'.

Meeting Sabrina Dhowre Elba
co-Founder of S'ABLE LAB with Idris Elba
SHE CREATED A COMMUNITY OF SISTERHOOD WITH HER TALK!
Indeed she did, connecting with Sabrina Dhowre Elba at the Conduit during Trouble talk WAS EMPOWERING! We connected spoke and continued the conversation hours after she left. Strangers breaking break (and drinks) connecting for Higher Purposes.The topic started with Sabrina Elba's skincare S'ABLE LABS which she created with her Husband, actor Idris Elba.
But it encompasses so much more. It's about AGRICULTURE in sourcing products that are safe and positive for African communities and the environnement, It's about WOMEN's RIGHTS and how they are at the forefront of CLIMATE CRISIS, it's about FARM AFRICA the project benefitting from sales of S'able Labs.
I don't usually have time for make-up and skin stuff but I WILL BUY S'ABLE LABS. First, because it's helping African women and it is ETHICALLY SOURCED, FOR REAL! Secondly, it has things like BAOBAB in it..I mean that african tree lives for hundreds of years, and women tried it on the spot and LOVED IT!
And those secret ingredients east African women use to have that glowing skin and it's all in 1 no fuss and ready to go! S'ABLE Labs Skincare (sablelabs.co)
If this is the impact she has when she talks at the United Nations for UN WOMEN then at least African women have a true voice echoing their true concers in those hemicycle.

MADNESS OF KING GEORGE III
FROM BETHLEHEM TO BEDLAM
Note on an extraordinary travel inside Mental Health treatment in Britain
By Shana de Carsignac Mongwanga
READ HERE ON SHAKESPEARE CONNECT
The most famous asylum in Britain was Bethlehem Hospital which became Bedlam.
We met at the place where children came to claim asylum in Britain in 1938, at Kinderstransport statue in Liverpool Street.
Queen Charlotte met with Bedlam owners, the Monro, ONCE, and she refused to let her husband King George III anywhere near them. That should tell you all there is to know about Bedlam. Still Bedlam was the only choice some had at the time. At least it was free. At least you did not have to beg at the city gates. At least you had a roof over your head. When Bedlam shut down, they were people who had been chained for 12 years.

in our Advocacy section
10 YEARS ANNIVERSARY ARTICLE! THIS is probably the most IMPORTANT article I have written...because I have seen the tangible change and shift it still has 10 years later. Students still quoting it and the VOICE OF CONGOLESE PEOPLE TALKING BACK TO THE WRITER AND THE PUBLISHING HOUSE: WE WILL NOT BE DEHUMANISE AGAIN.
I was invited to review the book 'RADIO CONGO' by the Royal Africa Society of England.I was expect to be the Congolese token women who should be grateful I guess. Well, I actually read the 350 page book and wrote an extensive article about it higlighting ALL THE DEHUMANISATION and hidden agendas to balkanise Congo.
YOU WILL NOT DEHUMANISE CONGOLESE PEOPLE ON MY WATCH
was and STILL is my main message. I will not be part
of that plan. AFRICALIVES! is not just words.

Many people enjoyed our show and with a cost of living crisis, going to the theatre feels like a luxury... thankfully local theatres like Teddington theatre at Hampton Hill theatre are keeping the cost affordable.

was the one of the GREATEST PERFORMANCES I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Kathryn Hunter performance as King Lear WAS PERFECTION. She achieved what I called the Holy Trinity in actors technique in every word, sound and gesture on the Globe stage. I could not believe what I was witnessing. I wept. We could hear a pin drop in the whole Globe when King Lear wept for his Cordelia.

Advocacy News - Note on Trump visit in the UK
' Women's rights and Advocacy
in Trump era '
Read the note by Shana de Carsignac Mongwanga
Following the visit of the United States President, Donald Trump, in the United
Kingdom in June 2019, Athena-AfricaLives! Culture and Advocacy's director Shana de Carsignac Mongwanga reflect on women's rights and advocacy in the Trump era. At the Foreign and Comonwealth Office (FCO), in the very room where the Week of Women event took place and groups of women reflected on their work, in that very room stood Donald Trump and Theresa May, still UK Prime Minister for a few days holding a joint Press conference.
Being anti-Trump has become the most politically correct opinion to express nowadays. The Trump Administration has a horrifying record on human rights, race relations and safeguarding migrants and their children. And it stands on the borderline of legality on obstruction of justice.
But does that justify everything?

Shana de Carsignac Mongwanga attending the 71st Cannes Film Festival
#BLACKkKLANSMAN is an important reminder of what the KKK ideology was in the 70's, and in 2018, people embracing this ideology are now in prominent positions of power. The film received a well-deserved 10 minutes standing ovation in Cannes and was like a punch in my gut! We could hear a pin drop amongst the 3,000 people watching the film and the parallel with the tragedy of #Charlottesville.
ALL POWER TO ALL THE PEOPLE.
Please support, share and watch this film.
A Palme d'Or Ifor the film, Spike Lee and best actor for John David Washington and Adam Driver will be in order.' Shana de Carsignac

' Elizabeth I famously asserted ‘I am Richard II, know you not that?’ when the Earl of Essex rebelled against her rule in 1601.
By casting a woman in the central role, the RSS ask us to think about how the play applies to other monarchs,..'
