S2:E9 - Welcome back to Whitgift Conversations. This is the podcast where we talk to staff and pupils about topics that are relevant to you and I am super-excited for this episode because we’re talking to Femi Owolade-Coombes in Y12. And if you don’t know Femi then I really think you need to. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is one of the most inspirational episodes we’ve recorded on the podcast and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Femi is is a Design, Technology and engineering scholar at Whitgift. His passion for coding led him to set up a business called South London Raspberry Jam which shares his skills and knowledge with other young people.

But don’t be fooled into thinking this episode is just about coding, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Instead it’s about so much more, about carving your space in life, about taking the initiative, about the positive impact parents can have on their children and about striving ahead in life despite obstacles and challenges.

Now, true story, we recorded this episode online and when we finished instead of continuing with my day I went straight back to listen to it again. So if you want to feel inspired, motivated, dare I say challenged, then this is a podcast for you.

That’s coming up right now so come with me as we step into school and speak to Y12 student Femi Owolade-Coombes.
