When we start a new chapter in life, it’s a good time to reduce the number of things and even people in our lives that no longer serve us or have value. It’s time to declutter and let go. Decluttering your life can help you to improve your health, happiness and relationships. By letting go […]
WHY WANDE GETTING SIGNED TO REACH RECORDS IS A WIN FOR CHH MUSIC AS A WHOLE AND NOT JUST FEMALE ARTISTS
The name Wande means ‘(The child) sought me out’ in the Nigerian language Yoruba. And if we link this meaning to Reach Record’s latest signed artist, Wande, you will see how prophetic it is.

DO I WANT TO BE PART OF A RACIST BRITISH MEDIA INDUSTRY? RAHEEM STERLING, STORMZY AND MORE…
As a trainee journalist, when people say bad things about the media industry I feel personally attacked. I believe the media is an important part of every society. It should serve as the voice and mirror of the people, reflecting what is happening but also shouting about what should be happening. It is the belief […]
