FOLLOWING THE news that black history lessons will be mandatory in Wales, campaigners have started working to ensure that black people control the narrative.
Activists and academics have united on the groundbreaking I’m Representing Inclusive Educational Curriculum Consultancy (IECC) project which launches today (Monday April 12).
Soraya Cordle who founded the project, is also the Founder and Director of It’s Mandatory CIC, which aims to eradicate institutional racism in the education sphere. Her co-founder is children’s author and translator Jessica Dunrod – who also co-chairs Cardiff University’s Student Race Equality Steering Group.
