Representation Matters pt 1 with Aisha Thomas

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.
