About this Event
*Attend Prince of Peckham University
Join the authors of My Little Black Book: A Blacktionary, Dr Maggie Semple OBE and Jane Oremosu
Through their work with organisations across the world, Dr Maggie Semple, OBE and Jane Oremosu found that there was a need to help people as they discussed identity, race and inclusion. My Little Black Book: A Blacktionary aims to do just that. This A-Z pocket guide is for people who are entering the workplace and finding their identity, for leaders and managers who feel overwhelmed by ever-evolving definitions and phrases, for anyone who is afraid of saying the wrong thing and being judged. From explaining what microaggressions are and their impact, to differentiating cultural appreciation from appropriation, this book will break down barriers to engaging in conversations on race.
An exciting conversation with insights, fun and laughter. The event will be followed by a book signing and Q&A
What is Prince of Peckham University ?
Black History Walks has teamed up with the Prince of Peckham pub to offer high quality, educational talks by Black academics on a variety of subjects. Prince of Peckham is a black-owned venue offering high quality food, drink and entertainment. Black History Walks runs walks, talks, films, river cruises, helicopter and steam train tours on London's Black history. All of our speakers hold doctorates, are Phd students or authors
Just book your free ticket, come have a drink, meet nice people,chew a pattie and learn. Just as good as Oxford/Cambridge, but it won't cost you £9000 !
These events provide a safe space at a time when they are serious cuts to to Black history /education at Chichester, Birmingham and Goldsmiths universities. Executives at BSix College in Hackney, that has a record of pushing Black students to Oxford/Cambridge, wants to cut its education/Black history programme due to 'restructuring' . The BFI Southbank despite 17,000 signatures to keep the 17-year-old African Odysseys, educational, anti-racist film series going, has cancelled the programme due to 'restructuring'.
