Khady Gueye

Khady Gueye is a community organiser and committed anti-racism activist, whose story was picked by the BBC after she organised and ran the BLM protest in 2020 in Lydney, Gloucestershire in commemoration and justice for George Floyd. The racist response and comments that both the protest and Khady personally received from the community further justified the need for anti-racist work, which is where NKG’s involvement with Khady began in the set up of the Local Equality Commission.

However separate to her work as director for the LEC, Khady visits schools and organisations in rural areas to discuss community cohesion and how to confront racism both in the short term and long term. She has appeared on both global and national television and radio to talk about the anti-racist programmatic agenda, that NKG helped systemise, in order to encourage the UK, a country that is more than resistant to face its past, to change its future.

We also supported Khady during her run for Blakeney and Bream as Labour county council candidate in this year’s local elections, curating her digital identity and consulting on her social comms strategy. NKG continues to consult Khady, creating social media content and advising on a broad spectrum of anti-racist projects in rural England.
