ABOUT US
THE STATE OF BLACK BRITAIN SYMPOSIUM (SBBS) organises an annual dialogue for and between black communities within the UK involving experts in their field, community-based organisers, practitioners, politicians and faith leaders. SBBS also provides speakers, facilitators, expert commentators on issues and for events that specifically explore themes that of of interest to African & Caribbean communities and wider society as a whole.
SBBS is the brain-child of The Revd David Shosanya. David currently serves as a Regional Minister with the London Baptist Association and is a co-founder of the nationally acclaimed Street Pastors Initiative. David is a highly sought after speaker and was recently awarded a Gold Medal (with distinction) in Public Speaking from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). David holds a BA (Hons) degree in Theology and Religious Studies. He is married to Yvonne. They have two children. They live in Surrey.
The organisation and execution of the symposium is a team effort. I am therefore grateful to the following individuals for their support, insights and the professional expertise they bring to make this event what it is. Thanks to:
- Christine Bongo
- Larraine Darby
- Thelma Purcell
- Yvonne Dowie
We are here to serve! Our efforts are inspired by the belief that there is a fundamental need for conversations between black communities locally, regionally, nationally, internationally and globally. Our entire team is committed to working towards realising this goal.
We look forward to serving you and working together.
