My job is a constant education!!!
I have the privilege to meet some exceptional individuals and be given an insight to their stories and inspirations into business.
I had the pleasure of working with Ekua Cant, Author of ‘Be your No 1 cheerleader’ a motivator, keen to encourage women to for fill their own potential.
A couple of months back Ekua traveled up from London to have her portraits taken, but to captured in the presence of Dr. Martin Luther King!
"I studied Political Science at Brunel University. One thing that I've always been passionate about is every citizen having the right to vote and participate in their country and society freely. So much so after University, I saved money applied for a non-paid internship at Non-partisan, Non-profit Civic Participation organisation called FairVote where I worked there to educate college students on how to exercise their right to vote in the historic presidential elections of 2008, in which Barack Obama became the first African American President. Meeting and being in the same place as Dr. Martin Luther King received an honorary degree from the University of Newcastle in Nov 1967. In which he gave a rousing and inspirational speech on the fight against racism. He said, "As you well know, racism is a reality in many sections of our world today. Racism is still the coloured man’s burden and the white man’s shame. And the world will never rise to its full moral or political or even social maturity until racism is totally eradicated." It was important for me to remember and to be part of the history of Dr. Martin's Luther King's visit to the University, by taking photos with a man that I hold in great esteem. "
