New Censors: Nadine Gordimer & Others on Publishing Now (Index on Censorship - The International Magazine for Free Speech , Vol 25, No 2)
Nadine most recently founded Aspiring Heads, a multi-award winning social enterprise that challenges racial disparities within education in the UK. Her work has provided impactful and affordable leadership development for black educators, along with access to culturally competent networks that helps to elevate the next generation of black leaders. Being highly skilled in executive coaching, and fuelled with a passion to support and mentor, she never fails to motivate and inspire others. Nadine is currently Headteacher of a Primary School in South-West London, part of Dunraven Educational Trust.
There is one quality that is perhaps more important to a writer than any other. Nadine Gordimer, who died this week in South Africa at the age of ninety, not only possessed it in abundance but was able to grant a measure of it to others, as she did to me when I was struggling to become a novelist, a gesture I’ll always be grateful for.
