Kemosha of the Caribbean

Alex Wheatle

2022

The YA adventure story of 15 year old Kemosha and her younger brother who have lived their whole lives in slavery.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
