I love teaching children and adults alike about Black history. Growing up as a child in London and then Barbados, I realised the existing selection of children’s books about Black people to be sorely lacking; the books I was able to find poorly showcased the diversity and richness of Black history. I’ve recognised that writing about Black history and culture not only brings me a sense of meaning, but it also helps contribute to our shared knowledge and understanding that is otherwise missing without Black voices to champion it.
