Colleagues at Cambridge University Press & Assessment heard from actor and writer, Sharon De Leonardis, who presented extracts from her play, Rise of the Empress, on what it means to be a Black and British woman, at an event organised for #BlackHistoryMonth. The “thought-provoking” and “moving” play focuses on a meeting between two women to explore issues of race, gender, heritage, language, and culture, using dialogue, poetry, video and montage. Through the play and the event discussion, De Leonardis calls for greater awareness of Black history and the need for more to be taught in schools.
