Project: Recopilación de datos sobre el impacto de los medios españoles en las comunidades negras, reproducción del discurso de odio, racismo y el papel de la justicia en las comunidades españolas y negras // Compilation of data on the impact of the Spanish media on Black communities, reproduction of hate speech, racism, and the role of justice in Spanish and Black communities

Akapo Bisoko is at the helm of Blvck Pvper, a digital journalistic project for the community. This initiative works to eliminate racial and other forms of discrimination, promoting social wellbeing, education, and public health for all. Blvck Pvper also focuses on preserving the historical memory of the Black African community, Afro-descendants, and other diverse populations in Spain. The project strives to ensure the effective visibility of these communities in all public spheres of Spanish society, understanding that telling their stories is a political act, and recognizing the importance of doing so from an Afro-centered digital media perspective.
