After participating in several community events, such as the “Windrush 75” and “Evidence of Those Unseen” exhibitions, I am honoured to have been acknowledged as the inaugural recipient of the Redbridge Black History Legacy Award, and accept it on behalf of our community.
This reinforces my passion for sharing stories that highlight the resilience and accomplishments of individuals of African descent. Through my representations, these narratives, which are of great value to our communities, are told and acknowledged with pride. Often, such stories remain untold in British history.
Nominations for the ‘Arts & Culture Award‘ are voted for by Redbridge residents and workers, and identify a person who made an impact on the arts & culture sector. I am truly thankful to each and everyone who voted for me.
