As a child, I lived in Zambia and was educated in Zimbabwe. The product of a colonial formal education led me to seek what I had not learnt at school - an understanding of the continent I was brought up on. I embarked on a degree in Kiswahili alongside International Development during my 4 years in London at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies), with a year spent learning in Lamu and Zanzibar. In a bid to be the change I wished to see in education, I later trained to be a teacher. I spent 4 years teaching Geography and Philosophy & Ethics in secondary schools in outer London before moving to Malawi for 5 years, where I taught and led in the Early Years sector. Africa and Education are two things that ignite me, and in particular how education systems can learn from each other and continually develop to reduce inequality & racism and increase inclusion, opportunities & outcomes for all. I believe that transformation in education has to occur (now!), and I have a personal interest in identity, whiteness, anti-racism and the decolonisation of education.I am currently co-director at Ubuntu; a socially conscious EdTech company which has Decolonisation of Education as one of its 3 agendas. This allows me to further this global conversation and positively impact education opportunities for all.Fun fact: When I was 21yrs old, I co-led a group of 15ppl on a 6 week road-trip, driving 6,000km from my home in Essex, England to the great intellectual city of Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa.
