Some of this work is internal or awaiting publication, so a few entries are described rather than linked. Documents are available on request.
Remember Slavery website, question-and-answer restructure
United Nations DGC·2026Delivered
The programme’s public pages carried years of layered institutional copy that was hard to read and hard to find in search. I restructured the landing page and eight feature pages into a question-and-answer format built around how people actually search the subject, wrote the questions to be schema-ready, and ordered every recommendation by effort against impact. Delivered as a 19-page editorial document; implementation sits with the web team.
Background page, Remember Slavery
United Nations DGC·2026In draft
New visitors arrive without the vocabulary the rest of the site assumes. I’m drafting a background page covering the duration of the trade, its scale and distances, the countries and destinations involved, and the difference between abolishing the trade and abolishing slavery — deliberately excluding legacy and after-effects material, which belongs on a page of its own. Every claim carries an inline citation and a Chicago-style reference.
Transatlantic slave trade timeline
Self-initiated·2026In development
Proposed to my supervisor, then researched and built on my own: a chronology of the trade and its abolition, written entry by entry, intended to sit alongside the existing Remember Slavery pages. Publication is under consideration.
Monthly newsletter, Outreach Programme on the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Slavery
United Nations DGC·5,100+ subscribersOngoing
I research, write, and produce the programme’s monthly newsletter end to end — editorial planning against anniversaries and UN observances, drafting, the Mailchimp build, and the Canva assets. Recent issues have been built around the centenary of the 1926 Slavery Convention and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Durban Declaration.
The Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans and Its Legacies
UN Headquarters, New York·3 December 2026Forthcoming
A two-panel event following General Assembly resolution A/RES/80/250 — one panel on the language used to describe enslavement, one on how countries teach it. I co-drafted the concept note and led speaker research and outreach, building a vetted list of scholars, diplomats, and artists across institutions in North America, Europe, and Latin America.
