The VOICE of Honey Kinny Ross, Class of 2015
In this episode, Honey Kinny Ross shares her cherished memories of King Alfred School, a unique educational environment in Central London. She recalls the school's sense of freedom and open space, highlighting experiences from playing in the mud as a child to lounging on the grass during summer breaks.
Honey revisits her involvement in school musicals, particularly her fond memories of being the lead in 'Into the Woods.' She also talks about the supportive environment, mentioning her favorite teachers who encouraged her passions for English and the arts. Honey discusses the founding of the feminist society at the school, which significantly influenced her values and activism.
Now a writer and feminist activist, Honey credits her time at King Alfred School with instilling confidence in herself and an understanding of the importance of using her voice for change. This episode beautifully encapsulates the lasting impact of King Alfred's unique educational approach on Honey's life and career.
