Nana Asmaāu school had the pleasure of being at Fenstanton primary school to deliver an African history workshop. The children informed me that for bhm they has only learned about segregation so in the session we explored the rich history of the Nigerian princess Nana Asmaāu. #poetry #poet #poem #community #workshop #blackhistory #bhm #africanhistory #kingsandqueens #blackgirlmagic #blackboyjoy
Today Nana Asmaāu school was at Al Fatiha education centre in North London. We learned about the legacy of Nana Asmaāu and wrote poetry about the thing we love the most. The children ranged from year 7-11. This is a poem from a KS4 student about the love of her mother: āWhen the sun rises
And the pain increases
The warmth your mother gives
Nothing can reciprocate it
When your brain fills up
And your soul is consumed
Your motherās comfort
The power to release it all...ā
