Recently, she founded Decolonise Architecture Bath — a collective of students and alumni at University of Bath which aims to tackle institutional racism within architectural education. The summer of 2020 has been revolutionary and has reminded us, as a community, how much there is to strive for in the struggle against systemic inequality.
