Harrow young people impressed an audience at the Houses of Parliament.

The launch of Africans for Momentum (AFM), which was hosted by shadow chancellor John McDonnell MP, attracted people from different backgrounds and ages including ten-year-old Harrovians Destiny Phillip and Mariah Afuah Konadu Nimo.

The audience was treated to the recital of the African Child poem by Kobi, 11, and Ebony Akins, 13.

While Mariah Nimo recited the What They Said I Should Be poem.

AFM chair Nana Asante gave an overview of the 10 points Jeremy Corbyn is standing to deliver.

Marcel, 13, gave his perspective on Point 10 Education - a lifelong national education service for decent skills and opportunities throughout our lives. His brother Antonio Phillip, 15, spoke on Point 3 Action on climate change.

Destiny Phillip read a quote by African American writer Alice Walker in African Voices: Quotations By People Of African Descent, and reminded guests that "the most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any".

In his presentation John McDonnell highlighted the importance of challenging negative policies not personalities.

AFM, which was formed last December, aims to galvanise people not normally involved in politics to engage in working towards a fairer Britain.

Guests included representatives of the Labour Party's Black Sections, magistrates, community leaders, community groups, parents, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, charity workers, pensioners and representatives of the Unite trade union, Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC), Momentum Black ConneXions and Disabled People for Momentum London Caucus.

AFM secretary Awula Serwah said: "It was good to see so many people from different backgrounds and age groups united in the quest for a fairer Britain based on Jeremy Corbyn's 10 point policy."

The next AFM event is the Networking & Ghana Day Jollof Pop Up Restaurant which takes place on Saturday, March 12, at Stanmore Baptist Church.
