On June 25th 2020, via Instagram live, I had a fantastic conversation with Lavinya Stennett, Founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum.
\n
We spoke about the importance of the black curriculum, at such a time the importance of black history is prevalent. The work Lavinya is doing is key to changing the tide for the black British community. Black History is quite simply put British History, to ignore the importance of black people in British history is a grave injustice.
\n
Through my own work with my masters and the teaching I have done, I see the power that showing black children and even non-black children that our history is more than slaves and chains has a revolutionary effect on children. Our history is doomed to repeat itself if we don't confront the past. I was humbled by the fact I shared such a stage.
\n
I can't wait to work with The Black Curriculum in the future!
