✨ From humble beginnings to creating lasting change, Lou Kushnick’s journey is one of vision, dedication, and heart ✨ This week, our amazing Year 10 work experience students, Alice and Lindsay, delved into the life of our late founder, Lou Kushnick, the driving force behind the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah RACE Centre and Education Trust. Through their research, they explored Lou’s powerful legacy from championing race equality and education, to shaping conversations on justice and identity across the UK and US. They created these slides as a snapshot into his life and work. Want to learn more about Lou?
