Slavery and the City

On the surface Tunde Jaji’s is like many other boys of his age. A keen skateboarder, at twenty he is keen to make a path for himself in the world although he is still unsure of what that might be.

Tunde’s complicated circumstances seem to have arisen since he was sixteen. It was then that he’d fallen out with the people who had had him in their home since he was at primary school. They were not his natural family and they could not (or would not) provide him with documentation to show who he was or how he came to be here in London.

Despite being profoundly dyslexic, by last summer Tunde had worked his way through a BTech qualification at Barnet College and earned himself a place at University to study animation. It was then that his serious problems began.
