WHAT MAKES ME HOPEFUL?
Solidarity and fighting spirit shown all across the world by oppressed people throughout history.
WHAT MAKES YOU ANGRY?
Lots. The stigmatisation of the most marginalised, unempowered people in society is something I find particularly cruel. Also, the general theme of neoliberalism eroding our public services has had a huge impact on my generation whether it be the lack of youth spaces for young people or the abysmal upkeep of our NHS these issues have truly fragmented and harmed society.
Bio
Recently I’ve been working in education primarily as a Teaching assistant assisting and safeguarding young people who have a complex set of needs from emotional support to challenging learning difficulties such as Autism and Dyslexia. As a politics undergraduate from a working-class community, I have always been interested in uplifting my community and challenging the status quo. I’ve also been involved in a number of projects centred around anti-colonial politics and political awareness.
My interests are in Pan Africanism, History and Basketball.
