A Suffolk college is putting together a book to showcase the success stories of ethnic minority students, to create diverse role models and inspire future generations.
Suffolk footballer and tutor at One Sixth Form Ian Brown, and colleague Ashton Harewood, are Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) champions at the Ipswich college and wanted to make a difference to current and future students.
Working with Ipswich photographer Neil Mason, they decided a book of success stories would help deconstruct some of the misconceptions about achievement.

Sarah Jones, the head of curriculum for art at One Sixth Form College, said their inclusion is amazing news for the school.
She said: “This is amazing news for everyone. Our students have a long tradition of gaining regional and national recognition for their work and these portraits reveal something about the essence of the person behind the painting. It’s a credit to them and our teachers.”
