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).
