On this week’s interview we go back in time and experience growing up in Hackney in the 70’s through Stephen’s eyes.

He told me tales of being a black kid in a diverse neighborhood, son of immigrant parents, and how the world treated him and other kids like him back in the days.

We talked about school, family, work, and the journey that brought him to work with kids in schools who face a similar life story to his.

Getting into yoga and mindfulness saved him and changed him from angry to centered. 

He uses his techniques to help with his student’s anxiety, stress and coping with life in general.

We explored the relationship and relatability he creates with these kids, how racism still exists in London schools, and how his work continues through a pandemic and 3 lockdowns.

An incredible human, with the biggest heart.

Another Londoner you need to meet.
