To honor the 75th anniversary of the Windrush generation's arrival on June 22, 2023, The Black Curriculum, supported by Spotify, launched a four-part visual podcast. The series focused on celebrating and amplifying the generation's stories to bring joy and make the history accessible to Gen Z through creativity and lived experience, shifting the focus from commemoration to youth culture.
The series brought influential British-Caribbean talent into intergenerational conversations, pairing each guest with a family member or descendant of the Windrush generation. These discussions explored four cultural pillars; music, food, business and education offering a space for connection, legacy and shared understanding.
Working with young Black and Caribbean creatives, including talent such as Cristale and Natty Can Cook, ensured the work remained authentic and relevant.
We delivered a high-quality four-part visual podcast series in under a month, produced in collaboration with Black/Caribbean-owned production partners. Each episode highlighted personal stories, cultural traditions and generational knowledge while positioning the Windrush legacy within contemporary youth culture.
Featured Talent Included:
These voices offered creative, future-facing perspectives on Caribbean contribution and identity.
The series became a key cultural moment around Windrush 75, driving 500K+ views in 24 hours, including 200K+ on Cristale’s TikTok, and generating strong positive sentiment from both The Black Curriculum community and new Gen Z audiences.
The work resonated because it blended education with culture — pairing the wisdom of the Windrush generation with the voices shaping today’s creative landscape. By using intergenerational dialogue, modern talent and culturally grounded storytelling, the series felt fresh, accessible and emotionally impactful, strengthening The Black Curriculum’s mission to embed Black British history in mainstream learning.
