Vampires are extinct. Everybody knows that. But some people just can't let the undead stay in their graves. “It's been twenty years since the Reaping and our parents still won't buy store-brand vampire repellent. I don't get it. There's a whole aisle full of the stuff.” Cedrick is looking at me like I have two heads. I hand him the flyer I'd snatched from the mail before my mom had a chance to toss it. On one side is a picture of a plastic spray bottle filled with shimmering silver liquid and a label shaped like a garlic bulb. On the back are six or seven customer testimonials that say things like As good as the recipe my grandmother used to make and I'll never use another brand as long…

Welcome Lavinya. Can you tell us a little about you and your background? My name is Lavinia Stennett. I'm the founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum. I really enjoy the arts and music. Transforming words into rhythms are ways I think connect with who I am at the core of a Jamaican background. That has always been a part of me, for as long as I can remember. Just self expression within your world and environment comes naturally. I absorb a lot of the places that I'm in. So, for example, my main purpose of attending university was for African Studies. However, I wanted to absorb, being that person who listens to students' concerns, I wanted to be a change marker. Naturally, this led me to activism work with…

Job: Visual Artist & Poet Company: Freelance Studied: A Level-Art History, Photography & Philosophy When did you decide you wanted to work in the visual arts sector? Ever since I could remember, I knew I was not built for the standard Monday to Friday 9-5 lifestyle.

By: Sharna Jackson and Dr Zoe Whitely Publisher: Thames & Hudson RRP: £14.99 Black Artists Shaping the World introduce young readers to contemporary artists from Africa and of the African diaspora. What do you hope young readers will take away from this book? Zoé: I hope that readers of all ages will find inspiration knowing that artists are all around us. That to me was something that was so exciting about Sharna's project. They live in our communities. They teach and create using every material. Sharing their ideas with us, they've made something that they then put into the world that we get to experience. I think that Sharna's writing makes the artists reference the things that matter to them. What it ends up telling us is that artists aren't…

"I am a very creative person; I draw from all emotions." - Kalynn Bayron What inspired you to write the dark fantasy Cinderella Is Dead? There are a couple of things. One is that I love fairy tales, and I always had, but those older fairy tales, those Brothers Grimm type fairy tales, are very dark. They have some very dark, almost morbid themes, which I think are interesting because they were specifically geared towards children. For Cinderella is dead. I wanted to do something that was similar. It is about misogyny; it is about patriarchy, and how those things hurt everyone. Those messages are still getting passed along in those, those darker themes, but I am just drawn to stories that have a darker kind of angle on them.…
