Foluke founded PRECIOUS in 1999 after experiencing the underrepresentation of Black women in UK magazines: "When I was younger there were no British magazines that featured girls that looked like me. I’d spend my pocket money on American imports and they were great, but I really wanted to read about the Black British experience." 

She tells Shaka about the challenges, the high moments, and the wider journey of getting PRECIOUS to where it is today.

Foluke Akinlose is a trustee of Show Racism the Red Card.
