Editor’s Welcome
Hello and welcome to the Mojatu
Nottingham issue 22. This summer
has been quite exciting with many
community events and activities.
Summer holidays are referred to
as the ‘Cutting Season’ in relation
to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
with many girls at risk. Check out
our ‘Cutting Season’ campaign this
summer and how our ‘Clit Warriors’ have been shaking
things up! You can also join our Clit Warriors (p4-7).
Don’t forget the interview on FGM with Hillary Burrage
(P20). Check out also our FGM event in parliament on
25 th October (p13) where we will celebrate Nottingham
as City of Zero Tolerance to FGM (p6). The annual
community events this summer have been bigger
and better thus facilitating community cohesion,
integration and breaking barriers. Nottingham Sports
Group (p10-11), Hyson Green Cultural Festival (P14-15)
and Kenya Day in the Farm (p18-19) were the highlight
this summer.
Black men are more likely to get prostate cancer than
men of other ethnicities. Rose Thompson has been
championing the ‘Check Tings Out’ campaign and Hear
Me Now runs a community health clinic for assessment
(p16-17). Don’t forget to check out our health articles
(P24-26). In this special edition, we also give a focus
on the rise of knife crime. See our interview with PC
Heather Sutton (P28). Mojatu Foundation is launching
a Refugees and Asylum Seekers Training programme.
To get involved, see (p29). The Black Achiever’s Awards
are back! To nominate for different categories and
celebrate the achievement of black women and men in
our communities, see (p32).
