We’ve not one but two brilliant speakers for this month’s CreativeMornings/Derby.

Trevor Todd is a self-employed, finance professional and program manager. He works primarily with the NHS. Born and raised in Derby… a child of one of the pioneers who travelled to England from Jamaica after the Second World War to bolster the rebuild of Great Britain.

Trevor is also the Managing Director of DACCI – Derby African-Caribbean Community Initiative. A new CIC was established to cultivate the togetherness and build the resilience necessary to uphold a strong sense of community. He also sits on the board of Baby People Limited and The Jamie Simpson Trust.

A passionate advocate of communities being better together… he is looking forward to discussing and exploring what it means to be a native from a Caribbean perspective.

Ndukwe Onuoha is an advertising copywriter, Creative Director, and Spoken Word Poet. Throughout his career, he has created memorable ads for brands in Nigeria and West Africa, across a wide variety of sectors. His works focus on crafting messages that resonate with the cultural and lived experiences of his target audience, whomever they may be.

Last year he was endorsed by Arts Council England for his work in poetry and has since moved to the UK with his family.

When he’s not creating advertising or doing the Derby spoken word rounds, he’s working on his short film that’s inspired by Nigerian mythology and philosophical thoughts.

Ndukwe is a copywriter by day and a poet by design, and you can listen to his second Spoken Word album, Nwa Chukwu, on your favorite music platform.
