K N Chimbiri

Come and meet award-nominated children's Black history author K.N. Chimbiri!

Join us in conversation with the author of The Story of the Windrush.

Combining historical fact with authentic voices, this book sensitively tells the inspiring story of the Windrush generation for younger readers. Come and hear why this, and other true-life stories from Black history, are more relevant than ever.

She is dedicated to teaching children (and adults) about modern and ancient Black history and has worked on museum children's trails, outreach projects, and public engagement events.
