An incredible night celebrating the release of Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell’s highly-anticipated book, These Heavy Black Bones! Rebecca’s journey is truly extraordinary. As an ex-athlete, she made history as the first Black woman to swim for GB, was honoured by both Forbes and TIME and of course, serves as our dedicated CEO at The 10,000 Interns Foundation as a trailblazer for equity for opportunity and experience for Black talent. These Heavy Black Bones chronicles Rebecca’s iconic swimming career and the barriers she shattered along the way. Her book is not only a testament to her remarkable achievements but also a beacon of inspiration for anyone striving to make their mark. During the event, Rebecca shared her insights on breaking barriers and the power of resilience. She captivated the audience with a powerful book reading and an insightful Q&A session leaving everyone inspired to reflect on their own paths and ambitions. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, our alumni for joining us and our exceptional host, Tiyana. Lastly, congratulations to Rebecca on the launch of your incredible book - we’re all eagerly looking forward to reading it!
Great book, better person! You inspire us all. Congrats RAB🫶🏼😊❤️
