About Me

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Hertfordshire, and I am a graduate of the University of Dundee in Scotland, holding an MA Honours Undergraduate and Masters degree in History.

I am a historian specialising in 20th Century Black radicalism.

My current PhD research concerns the ideological connections between Black Radical Women of the early 20th Century and the Black Power Movement of the latter half of the 20th Century. I am interested primarily in the transfer of tactics and ideology, as well as the interpersonal and intergenerational exchanges between activists.

I am also a coordinator at the Young Historians Project – a non-profit organisation formed by young people encouraging the development of young historians of African and Caribbean heritage in Britain. We work on dynamic projects, documenting pivotal and often overlooked historical moments in Black British History.
