ABOUT
Jacqueline Courtenay is a London-based governance professional, writer, creative facilitator and community advocate whose work explores the intersection of systems, culture, identity and modern urban life.
With over a decade of experience across governance, compliance and risk within global financial services, Jacqueline has built a career navigating complex organisations, regulation and stakeholder environments while maintaining a strong commitment to community engagement and public dialogue. Alongside her professional work, she has led and contributed to initiatives centred on equity, representation and social accountability.
In 2022, Jacqueline organised the Child Q Solidarity Rally outside Hackney Town Hall in response to the safeguarding review into Child Q, adding her voice to national conversations around dignity in education, policing and institutional accountability. Her advocacy and commentary have featured across BBC platforms including BBC Breakfast, BBC Woman’s Hour and BBC News, as well as in national and independent publications.
A proud British-Ghanaian Londoner, Jacqueline is particularly interested in the relationship between identity, class, race, gender and belonging within British society. An identity which inspires Jacqueline’s work on Blackstar Britain. Through writing, public conversations, creative projects and community-based work, she explores how people navigate systems, cities and culture in everyday life.
Her current work spans governance support for community organisations, creative and educational workshops, storytelling projects, and sustainable urban mobility advocacy through her cycling platform, Cargo Trike Mum LDN.
