Black British Studies

About My name is Leila and I create online flexible courses and bespoke webinars and workshops that explore Black British History with the aim of promoting greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures. As a History Teacher of 14 years I have always been amazed at how little Black presence there is in the English curriculum and strongly feel that this is a key contributor to our unequal society. I know as a Black British woman what discrimination and prejudice in the UK feels like. Whether it be being racially targeted at school or being chastised for speaking out against injustices in the workplace. My experiences have taught me that incomplete historical knowledge about British History and lack of positive Black representation often leads to stereotyping and racial bias. Whether you are simply interested in knowing more about Black British History or want to improve equality in your workplace and personal life, our courses, webinars or workshops are for you.
