Zita Holbourne is an award winning human rights campaigner, community and trade union activist, public speaker, visual artist, performance poet, writer, curator and vocalist.

She avidly campaigns for equality, freedom, justice and human rights and will delve into these topics as part of her keynote speech, discussing reparations for past atrocities, healing our collective trauma and equal rights for the future generations.

From Windrush to the disproportionate impacts of Covid-19, systemic discrimination and state brutality to everyday racism and micro aggressions, we are living with the legacies of enslavement and colonialism. Zita will explore this difficult but much needed narrative in her lecture.
