Blogs & conversations In conversation with Ehinor Otaigbe: Protecting children by helping mothers escape abuse

We spoke to Ehinor Otaigbe MBE about how her Churchill Fellowship is shaping her work to support African women and children affected by domestic abuse. Drawing on her own experience, her work through Wonderfully Made Woman, and learning from organisations in Nigeria, Atlanta, and New York, Ehinor reflects on why children’s trauma must not be treated as an afterthought in domestic abuse support. She shares how her Fellowship is helping her shift conversations in the UK, working with faith and community leaders to support women and children to heal and move forward.

Blogs & conversations In conversation with Natasha Cox: Learning leads to new creative Saturday school for Black boys

We spoke to Natasha Cox about how her Churchill Fellowship helped shape the next stage of Actively SeeK.I.N.G, the CIC she founded to support Black boys through creative arts. Drawing on learning from schools in the USA, Ghana, and the Caribbean, Natasha has launched the House of K.I.N.G.s Saturday School. She reflects on how the Fellowship deepened her work, opened new doors, and helped turn her research into practical support for young people in East London.
