Lavinya is the founder of The Black Curriculum, a social enterprise on a mission to address the lack of black British history being taught in schools across the UK. They believe that by delivering arts focused Black history programmes, providing teacher training and campaigning through mobilising young people, they can facilitate social change. They launched in late 2018, and have since gone on to directly reach thousands of young people, teachers and senior leaders in over 12 countries.
In this interview we discuss Lavinya's upbringing and how this has shaped the person she is now, getting excluded from school, her early activism work, founding The Black Curriculum, the importance of teaching children black British history and developing a sense of identity and much more!
At 1000 Voices we are on a mission to create a more equitable society for black Britons. Like what we're about? Support by subscribing to our channel!
