Rosemary Campbell-Stevens, veteran educator and decolonisation advocate, shares her journey from the Investing in Diversity programme to her current work reimagining education systems worldwide through a decolonial lens.
• How the "Investing in Diversity" programme transformed leadership for global majority educators from 2003-2011
• The powerful shift from identifying as "ethnic minority" to embracing "global majority" identity
• Growing up in a "nationalistic Jamaican household" that fostered pride and global consciousness
• Why DEI initiatives often fail to create meaningful change in international schools
• The colonial roots of education systems designed to produce compliant workers rather than develop full humanity
• How parallel systems of self-determination can complement efforts to reform existing institutions
• The importance of creating education systems where no child leaves without a strong sense of self
• Current projects including decolonising corporate business models and establishing a CARICOM education commission
