Jason to join panel at Weston’s Black History Month Forum 2025
How can education empower communities? That’s the question Weston College’s Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Manager, Jason Selormey, will be exploring as a panellist at Weston’s Annual Black History Month Forum 2025.
This year’s theme, “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” will frame an inspiring evening of discussion, performance, and celebration at Front Room, Weston-super-Mare.
The night begins with a live panel conversation hosted by Louise Hill-Davis, where Jason and fellow panellists from University Hospitals Bristol and Weston (UHBW) and the Arts sector will reflect on leadership, identity, and inclusion. Jason will share his perspective on the power of education, highlighting why diverse voices and lived experiences must be represented in teaching and learning. The audience will also have the chance to contribute to the conversation.
After a short networking break, the evening continues with live poetry and storytelling hosted by Vanessa Otoo, including a performance by Jaidah, alongside West African-inspired food. The celebration concludes with an informal after party at Afri Lounge, with music from DJ Tamara J.
This vibrant, community-led event promises to be a true celebration of Black history, pride, and power in Weston. Staff, students, and the wider community are welcome to join this event to connect, reflect, and celebrate together.
