Representation Matters pt 1 with Aisha Thomas

Toria Bono Season 4 Episode 27

In this episode, Toria talks to Aisha Thomas about representation, why it is so important and how we can ensure that we prioritise this in school.

Aisha studied law at the University of the West of England before transitioning to education in 2010. In 2016, Aisha became Assistant Principal at an inner-city secondary school in Bristol. Specializing in Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging 
(EDIB), she’s a passionate educational activist with a particular interest in race and antiracist practice. 

Since then, Aisha has advocated for equitable representation in education and the wider 
world. Her work has included presenting a BBC documentary about the lack of black 
teachers in Bristol, delivering a 2019 TEDx Bristol talk: ‘Why representation really matters, 
and, in 2020, launching her organisation, Representation Matters Ltd.
