It was a wonderful opportunity to have Shaun speak at Chaucer's first-ever Black History Month celebration. In fact, he was our very first guest of the celebration. He was inspiring, knowledgeable and spoke many truths about the history and current position of people of colour in the UK... Overall, we were very happy to have had Shaun as a speaker at our event.
Shirley, Chaucer
