Nola holds a BSocSc in Social Anthropology from the University of Manchester and an MSc in Development Studies from The London School of Economics and Political Science. Her career has been built upon these strong academic foundations. Her commitment to an experiential understanding of modern issues affecting marginalised communities has led her to volunteer and work with numerous community organisations.

Her extensive experience of designing and delivering a range of programmes, both universal and targeted, has promoted the wellbeing of children and community groups.

After spending many years working in a variety of voluntary and paid positions helping disadvantaged groups and communities, Nola took a leap of faith and launched her own training and consultancy service. Since 2015 she has immersed herself in the joy of entrepreneurship whilst embracing what she loves most - helping others to discover and grow. Her vision, to share her passion, knowledge and experience, and help others to create more inclusive communities, is built on fifteen years in youth and community work. She offers bespoke training, workshops, as well as presentations, and can assist with the design and facilitation of projects.

Petition: Teach Britain's colonial past as part of the UK's compulsory curriculum
Currently, it is not compulsory for primary or secondary school students to be educated on Britain's role in colonisation, or the transatlantic slave trade. We petition the government to make education on topics such as these compulsory, with the ultimate aim of a far more inclusive curriculum.
