My main interests and skills sets is around extending the participation, inclusion and recognition of African contributions to Bradford and wider communities .

As a retired bookshop owner and as part of an educational and local history collective, I have produced and organized cultural events, book fairs, campaign initiatives and exhibitions for over 35 years.

I have lived in Bradford for so many years and have been part of many experiences that has shaped this great city.

As a person of African Heritage and a family man with 4 children, these experiences have given me a unique insight into many aspects of life.
