It was my pleasure to speak with Grammar School for Girls last October on black history.
🌍 Please share this to promote our #BlackHistory comic book series which will be released Summer 2024 🌍
The whole room was fascinated in this 300,000 year old journey that we have been on together as human beings and how different nations have built and destroyed each other over time for no good reason other than the thirst for power and wealth.
We are seeing this reflected today, still, as nations collide for land, oil, myths and identity.
Hopefully we can learn from the past. It takes one step and one handshake at a time.
Recommended reading: Ain’t no black in the Union Jack, Paul Gilroy; When we ruled, Robin Walker

This talk is to show you who we are; ours and your legacy.
“If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going….” Maya Angelou.
Assumptions rob us of our sight. If I assume who you are before I have learnt who you are, I fail to see you. People of African descent have been assumed to be many things, many things which they are not.
Throughout this talk you will learn how the building blocks of the world we enjoy today are international. People from all corners of the earth have come together to produce greatness. This project will focus on the contribution of those individuals of recent African descent.
We should all be proud of our heritage and bear in mind that although we don’t inherit the sins of our fathers, we do inherit the world which has been left to us. And it is our duty to improve that world for ourselves and for others. Listen carefully and contribute. You’ll be asked to explore, put forth arguments and debate. Let your views be heard and share this work.
