Ray BLK for Notion 82

Brit R&B powerhouse Rita Ekwere—best known as South London artist Ray BLK—will tell you she’s a “regular degular girl” but as far as we’re concerned she’s a true queen.

Tara Joshi sat down with BLK to talk self-love, uplifting women and her empowered debut full-length project, Empress. With styling by Jamie-Maree Shipton and photography by Christina Ebenezer, witness the ascension of Britain’s R&B powerhouse in our Notion #82 cover feature.
