As the creator and editor of  'The Voice', the UK's first national black newspaper, Flip significantly amplified the voices of the Black community, highlighting their achievements and concerns. His contributions, including co-founding the Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame, celebrate the often-overlooked contributions of Black individuals in various fields. These narratives serve as powerful educational tools, promoting a more inclusive historical understanding and breaking down stereotypes.

For the Black community, especially the youth, Fraser's work offers a source of pride, motivation, and a strengthened cultural identity, fostering a sense of belonging and inspiring future generations. Additionally, by challenging existing narratives and fostering dialogue on race, equality, and justice, these stories can drive meaningful social change.
