Paige Ashton is originally from Hertfordshire. Her heritage is Vincentian, Bajan and Jamaican, with growing up in mainly a Caucasian area. Her mother decided to send her and her brother to a supplementary school ran by the Watford African and Caribbean Association, which allowed them to learn about black history. In turn it meant she taught her mother about black historical individuals and her secondary history schoolteacher.   

Over the month of November Paige has been doing a fundraising challenge for her BWAP Project which is to break the stigma around mental health through education and openly talking about it. 

She is fundraising for the Brent, Wandsworth and Westminster Mind by walking 15km each day and at the time of the interview 1,500 burpees, this now 2,000 burpees.   At work Paige has been helping to set up a Black Employee Resource Group, where one of the main focuses is to openly talk about race.  My voting number is: MISS AAC06 to 63333  For fundraising here is my link: https://bit.ly/3pOjCIy
