Lavinya talks to us about growing up in South london, being excluded from school but managing to sit her GCSEs and A levels at the same time @merton college before heading to @soasuni to get her degree. 

During her time at SOAS Lavinya started @theblackcurriculum and she explains her motivation and drive for doing this. 

She discusses how her parents influenced her creativity and also some of the famous women that inspire her including @michelleobama @dinaashersmith and @adwoaaboah and hear our reaction when she tells us she is only 23 years old!
