The first talk will be released Friday 10am.
Discussing the series, Kano said, "Growing up in Newham, made me the artist, and the man that I am today. Newham is one of the most culturally rich but economically one of the poorest boroughs in London, and as the effects of COVID-19 continue to hit the community hard we must come together and do what we can to help. With other Newham raised artists and cultural pioneers, I’ve started a conversation - through 'Newham Talks', we aim to raise both awareness and funds to support this brilliant community, that has supported so many of us."
The series is free to watch, but will encourage viewers to make a voluntary donation via the GoFundMe page. All money raised from the series will go to The Renewal Programme, which will split the funds equally between themselves and Newham based charities Caritas Anchor House and Bonny Downs Community Association.
