Empower Family Trail

For Windrush Day 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with the Royal Greenwich Maritime Museum on a special project. We created a family resource that would not only educate but also inspire and empower young minds.

At the heart of this project were the words of Stella Dadzie, a renowned educationalist, activist, writer and historian. Her powerful words formed the foundation of the work, allowing a dive into the rich histories of important but often overlooked Black figures, who are connected through British maritime history.

“Empower” is a trail that serves as an activity guide for children, encouraging them to explore and engage with the captivating stories hidden within the museum. Through interactive activities and provocations, the aim was to create an engaging journey that would ignite curiosity and foster a deeper understanding of these remarkable individuals, providing a space for families and groups with young children to think critically about history.

It was truly an honour to fine-tune Stella Dadzie's words and illustrate this important resource to create a captivating experience for families. This project highlights for me the power of collaboration, storytelling, and celebrating diverse voices in our shared history.
