I founded PART out of a deep passion for creating a world where diversity is embraced, inclusion is celebrated, and equality is second nature. This vision comes from my personal experiences with racism and my unwavering belief that systemic change is possible. Having moved to Kent from South East London in 2013 with the hope of providing my children with a brighter future, I was eager to embrace a new chapter in our lives. As a Black woman with three mixed-race children, I was aware that Kent was less diverse than London, but I hoped that overt racism was a thing of the past. Unfortunately, my family and I have been subjected to various forms of racial abuse, including racist comments, derogatory language, and racially motivated bullying. The ignorance and uneducated views we encountered deeply impacted me, but it also ignited my drive to create change. This was the catalyst for PART. Through PART, I’ve been able to educate young people inclusively, encouraging open dialogue, promoting diversity, and supporting equality. I work to ensure that young people understand the harmful effects of racism and what influences it, equipping them with the tools to challenge it in their own lives. In addition to empowering those affected by racism, PART focuses on creating allies who are actively engaged in anti-racist work. We provide training, guidance, and practical tools to help young people, educators, and communities understand the importance of allyship, ensuring that they are equipped to stand up for justice and challenge racism whenever it arises. As PART has expanded, we’ve made it a priority to not only address overt racism but also the more subtle, systemic forms of discrimination that often go unnoticed. We are committed to dismantling all types of racism—whether overt, covert, or institutional—through comprehensive education and collaboration with schools, communities, and young people. PART’s work encourages critical thinking about the structures that perpetuate inequality and provides strategies for creating lasting change. Our programs and workshops aim to equip participants with the tools needed to recognise and confront racism in its many forms, creating an environment where all individuals, regardless of race, feel seen, heard, and valued. With a background in working with young people to reduce self-harming behaviours and improve resilience and well-being, I am now applying my knowledge to reduce the impact of racism. PART has grown to become a vital resource for schools, communities, and young people, and I am dedicated to nurturing my relationships with educators, professionals, and the youth I work with. Through continuous professional development and a commitment to staying informed on current affairs, I strive to ensure that PART’s vision remains aligned with the needs of the communities we serve and continues to have a lasting impact. As the creator of PART, I am committed to ensuring that we not only address individual instances of racism but also work towards systemic change in schools and beyond, creating environments where all students, regardless of their race, can thrive. https://www.pandaantiracismteam.com/surveys daily 0.75 2020-11-25 https://www.pandaantiracismteam.com/media daily 0.75 2023-05-20 https://www.pandaantiracismteam.com/home daily 1.0 2025-03-01 https://www.pandaantiracismteam.com/our-vision daily 0.75 2025-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1606306195080-2795ECINPPLYV2KPMA3W/PART_logo_icon.jpg Our Vision - Education is the antidote—teaching anti-racism today builds an equal tomorrow Delivers engaging, interactive anti-racism workshops for primary, secondary, and higher education students.

Our work centres on providing safe spaces for open dialogue, where students can share their experiences, challenges, and hopes for a more inclusive future. We run workshops and programs that address the complexities of racism, focusing on raising awareness, fostering empathy, and building understanding among young people. Through these initiatives, we aim to not only educate but also inspire participants to become active agents of change in their communities. In addition to raising awareness, PART works directly with those affected by racism to provide the tools and support they need to navigate their experiences and advocate for themselves. We offer mentorship and resources that help individuals build resilience, confidence, and leadership skills, ensuring they have the power to challenge and dismantle racial injustices in their schools and wider society. Our approach is rooted in the belief that true change continues to be led by those who experience oppression, and by ensuring we empower them, we can create a ripple effect of transformation that reaches far beyond the classroom. Furthermore, PART works alongside schools to make meaningful, systemic changes that foster inclusive and equitable learning environments. We collaborate with school leadership, staff, and students to assess their existing policies and practices, identifying areas where structural racism may exist. By providing tailored training, resources, and guidance, we help schools create anti-racist policies, and promote diversity in leadership roles. Our goal is to ensure that schools are not only reactive to incidents of racism but are proactive in creating lasting cultural shifts that benefit all students and staff. Through this comprehensive approach, PART supports schools in building an environment where all students, regardless of their race, can thrive. https://www.pandaantiracismteam.com/pledgeyourpart-1 daily 0.75 2021-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1616254937316-LOTV30VD6IXXVBNTNQJ9/Screenshot_20210320_153858_com.android.gallery3d-01.jpeg #pledgeyourpart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1616256151799-8WXYRQVEVVZA62RERJR7/IMG_20201011_123731_609-01.jpeg #pledgeyourpart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1615826687576-OTJ143FKT0MD02V1NP2M/PART+pledge.jpg #pledgeyourpart PART week https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1615826979161-R90IKDIMHA9K7Y8ZD0R8/Pledge+day+one.jpg #pledgeyourpart Day One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1616253324053-CUUVH1VOB9WO14SURRRT/Pledge+day+two.jpg #pledgeyourpart Day Two https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1616253695486-9OY4Z0MACDWRTNP0NLSA/Pledge+day+three+%282%29.jpg #pledgeyourpart Day Three https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1616253815117-1W4P4NZ2LXAQSOLPMS73/Pledge+day+four.jpg #pledgeyourpart Day Four https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbcc0397a2a393af9d45891/1616253874815-642VOMKBI4KFDOFPGUJB/Pledge+day+five.jpg #pledgeyourpart Day Five https://www.pandaantiracismteam.com/national-diversity-awards daily 0.75 2021-10-11
