Jason Njoku

Jason was born and raised in Deptford, South-East London, and has described himself as 'solidly working-class – a council estate kid if ever there was one'. His mother raised him and his four brothers and sisters by herself, whilst working a full-time job in the National Health Service. He attended school in London, then moved to a village in Nigeria from the age of 12 – 15. After he returned from Nigeria, he attended college to complete his A-Levels, before securing a place at The University of Manchester where he read Chemistry. He graduated in 2004 with a 2:1 and launched Brash Magazine, a student publication which ran for two years before it closed in 2005
