After witnessing the misconceptions and stereotypes around Black, African and Caribbean students during university placements, one woman took it upon herself to make changes in the community. Shanine Fasasi has set up a charity to diversify education and promote integration in communities - and she has many big plans for the future.
The Diversifying Education Community Interest Company was formed six years ago by Shanine. She leads the charity from the Renewal Trust Business Centre on Carlton Road, Nottingham.
Along with volunteers, many community initiatives take place and Shanine supports parents and schools. Speaking about the charity's main goal, Shanine said: “The aim of Diversifying Education is to celebrate culture and bring people together. At university and as a teacher, I’ve experienced racism and discrimination.
