ALT Boys & Love is a new project for boys of colour in Greater Manchester dedicated to love and self-discovery, whilst amplifying the voices and shared experiences of our communities. We will delve into a wide range of themes including; self-love, solidarity, intersectionality, challenging toxic masculinity, advocating for feminism, celebrating cultural identity, love of community and planet. Don't worry if you don't feel comfortable with these ideas and terms yet, we will be exploring them together! Through thought-provoking conversations, critical thinking and inspiration from activists past to present, this project seeks to dismantle ideas about how boys and men practice love and encourage dialogue that empowers and uplifts boys of colour to be their true selves. We hope this will be a journey of self-fulfilment, healing and joy as we explore the theme of 'love', sparking meaningful discussions and fostering a more inclusive community for ourselves and others.
Generalising and blaming stuff on knife crime actually makes no changes. If you care about young people VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME and you will actually be part of the resistance to negative things that young people are the victims of trust me.

I have been signed to since I was 13. Iβm 25 now which basically means Iβve racked up 12 years of debt. I have never made a penny off of my own music. 100 million streams with all money made going to my label. This is pretty standard practice in most major label contracts
