We are delighted to announce that we have just registered a sister charity, The PressPad Charitable Foundation, and are thrilled that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their Archewell Foundation will be among our first donors.

Hi, my name is Ayomikun Adekaiyero & if you didn’t know I’m the social media editor of PressPad. Being black myself, I was personally moved by the events in America & wanted to do what I could to help make up for all the times I have not stood up against the racism towards me. We came up with the idea to make a list of black journalists and reached out to our followers to give us a list of up & coming black journalists. They did not disappoint. Welcome to the first round of brilliant black journalists in response to our crowdsource earlier this week.
