Who we are

Dr. Silhouette Bushay

Founder and Director
Dr Bushay is a Senior Lecturer in Education at the University of East London, in the United Kingdom where she is also a member of the Centre for Social Change and Justice and the Centre for Wellbeing, Communities and Inclusion. Her research is concerned with racial/racialised gendered justice where she examines Black girlhood and Black womanhood in Britain primarily in the twentieth and twenty-first century. Silhouette’s thesis entitled ‘Uncovering a Grimey Hip Hop Critical Race (Feminist) Pedagogy’ (2025) examines Black girl space, lives and pedagogies in Britain. Her book chapter ‘Public Pedagogies of Resistance: Black British Women, Talk Di Ting’ in the Black Music in Britain in the Twenty-First Century (2023) publication foregrounds scholarship from a British context that engages Black womanhood, Hip Hop, Grime and pedagogical insights.
Our vision
  • To drive active participation in protecting Black girls against violence, trauma and erasure, while recognizing their assets and agency.
  • Support Black girls in positively shaping their own lives and that of their own communities.
  • To be one of the most multifaceted Black girl centred online platforms and where members can find like minded people and organisations to collaborate and create.
