Inspirational talk delivered to CWC students by Akala
Dr Akala, Hip Hop Artist, writer and educator, visited CWC to chair a debate with our students. The topic of the debate was “Working on Youth Led Solutions to Youth Crime”. His team are working towards a summer conference on the issues surrounding youth crime.
Zulaikha Smart-Regan, student at City of Westminster College said, “Akala’s speech was extremely powerful and influential; it showed that there are people aware of the issues we face as a generation and that people are willing to help reduce our issues as they understand what we face as young people. As a young female of mixed heritage, raised in a Black African family and community, I have witnessed lack of opportunity which can lead to choosing the wrong paths in life to try and better yourself. Through Akala’s talk session and what I have experienced as a young 16 year old female, I have decided that, “It Is Time To Find Something To Live For, Not Something To Die For!” Only when we do that will we achieve and progress to a better lifestyle. It’s time to change the way we think and treat each other!”
