Mask Off: Misunderstood, Misdiagnosed and Missed – A Zine Workshop

Join the Black & Neurodiverse crew on a fun zine-making activity all afternoon long during our special Queer Black Women and Non-Binary day in light of the UK Black History Month.

The collective is currently developing its first web zine, highlighting experiences of Black and neurodiverse folks in any form they wish.

Materials will be provided or you can also bring your own!

About the facilitator:

Ndidi-Amaka Moemeke (she/they) is the founder of Black and Neurodiverse, an initiative dedicated to creating safe, inclusive spaces for Black and brown neurodivergent individuals.

Diagnosed with ADHD in January 2023 after 27 years of living undiagnosed, Ndidi-Amaka was motivated to start this community after discovering the term “neurodivergent” for the first time last year, experiencing challenges in obtaining an ADHD referral through the NHS.

Understanding that many Black and brown people face similar challenges, Ndidi-Amaka aims to foster environments that offer support and connection beyond the confines of home.
