Jeffrey Boakye & Nova Reid in Conversation

Friday 28th October

Writers Jeffrey Boakye and Nova Reid discuss tackling systemic racism from the inside out.

 

As they share the stage for their first public event together, Boakye and Reid explore their journeys so far, what systemic racism looks like, the barriers that hinder meaningful change, the powerful role of education and the practical ways in which individuals can make the move from bystander to changemaker.

Jeffrey Boakye is an author, broadcaster, educator and journalist, with over 15 years’ experience of teaching in secondary schools in the UK. His book I Heard What You Said is a necessary call to action over an education system that is default white.

He is also the author of Hold Tight: Black Masculinity, Millennials, and the Meaning of Grime; Black, Listed: Black British Culture Explored; What Is Masculinity? Why Does it Matter? And Other Big Questions; and Musical Truth: A Musical History of Modern Black Britain.
