BERNARDINE EVARISTO has made history yet again, by becoming the first Black female head of a drama school in the UK.
The Booker prize-winning author takes on the ceremonial role at Rose Bruford college, where she started a community theatre course more than 40 years ago.
Speaking to the Guardian, Evaristo said: “I think it’s really good to have Black woman as the head, even if it’s the titular head of a drama school, because it makes a very powerful statement.”
