 👉🏿 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC8g-wk0RIg&t=1s In this week's Black World News Kai discusses the news of Paul Stephenson's passing earlier this month. Paul was a civil rights legend in the UK and a great example of a Black historical figure who should to be on the curriculum. Talking of the curriculum, this week's official guest interview is with Lavinya Stennett, founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum (aka TBC). They discuss her important work and her important new book ‘Omitted‘ (OUT NEXT YEAR: Feb 13, 2025), which dives into popular misconceptions about Black history, and asks why education still hasn’t changed, even in schools now. Lavinya makes plain some of TBC's challenges when working with institutions and sponsors, the impact of TBC, and whether the curriculum will ever change. Lavinya is a writer, author, founder & director of TBC. Having graduated with a BA in African Studies and Development from SOAS University, London in 2019, Lavinya was inspired by her learning and experience in New Zealand to set up TBC in 2019 aged 22. During university, she was engaged in student activism as the "Working Class Student Officer" and co-founded a society called Art and the African Mind, which aimed to promote and provide African-centred art and information as well as support for students. Continuing to engage in her love of writing, Lavinya published her dissertation which won the inaugural Walter Rodney Prize, and has written on social and cultural themes throughout the African diaspora for outlets including the Guardian, Black Ballad, and Quartz Africa. TBC was co-founded in 2019 by Lavinya (CEO), Bethany Thompson, and Lisa Kennedy. TBC is a national movement and social enterprise that seeks to change the way Black history is engaged with by everyone. It works to ensure histories of Black people in Britain are integrated into schools and educational facilities. It was supported by Virgil Abloh who was a patron and continues to be supported by Edward Enninfull, David Olusoga, and Jade Bentil. Their work has made real-life differences including learning resources, introducing an accredited Black British history course and Lavinya continues to speak about it worldwide. For her efforts, she’s been awarded the Freedom to the City in London and MIPAD (Most Influential People of African Descent) in New York.
