ABOUT THE SESSION.
A meeting of minds, Chadwick Jackson and Dr Joy White talked about everything from urbanism to grime archiving.
15 minutes in, we were already discussing Newham and Birmingham parallels; the entrepreneurs selling CDs in the playground; temporary accommodation; and the mining of young creative thinkers' ideas.
“What is this hidden economy? I can see it you just have to look!”
- Dr Joy White
SESSION INSIGHTS.
Be curious! We are the future.
Even when you have nothing, don't stop. Just keep going, it will pay off in time.
We are in the golden age of storytelling. We have to realise representation is important to our young people.
What makes people ‘hard to reach’ You just have to look in the wrong place or the same place you’ve always looked.

“We are an Afrofuturism story. Right now there is a Black conference taking place on an app called Zoom and the world outside has collapsed. If that’s not a story, I don’t know what is.”
- Chadwick Jackson
