Today, we mourn the loss of a significant figure and trailblazer from the Windrush Generation. It was an honor and privilege to have known and collaborated with him on highlighting the importance of Black British history. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Incredibly powerful evening at the Justice4Windrush event at St Peter's Church. A moment for us to celebrate the Windrush community, but also highlight the injustices they still face due to the Home Office scandal. We won't stop fighting until everyone gets the justice they deserve ✊🏾

At Hackney Council Windrush Day event, I had the honor of leading a 1 of silence to remember the Windrush Pioneers we have lost. We paid tribute to Nellie Louise Brown who passed away at the remarkable age of 111 years old. It was a poignant moment with family members present.
