Join the African Lives in Northern England Project and Harambee Pasadia for a special Juneteenth walking tour through Newcastle city centre, raising funds for our friend Natural Langdon, a filmmaker and Newcastle University postgraduate currently navigating breast cancer through holistic healing. All proceeds go directly to supporting her journey.

Starting near Brunswick Chapel and ending at Central Station, this 90-minute tour highlights the impact of African lives in the region—from abolitionists and artists to athletes and local changemakers. Through historic sites, images and first-hand accounts, we explore stories of resistance, resilience and community.
