As International Women's Day comes racing round the corner on the 8 March 2021, COS are shining a light on inspirational women who are influencing positive change. In a series of black and white photographs, the British fashion brand spotlight Lavinya Stennett, founder of The Black Curriculum.

Stennet launched the social enterprise in 2019, which challenges the Eurocentric and racist British curriculum, reimagining it via Black British history which remains largely absent from the current national curriculum. Having written their own, The Black Curriculum run (currently virtual) programmes and offer learning resources. With 172k followers on Instagram at the time of writing, The Black Curriculum have been courting well deserved attention, especially following the Black Lives Matter Protests in June 2020. By spotlighting the inspirational work Stennett and her team do, COS remind us all of the anti-racist work we must continue to do.
