# Beryl Gilroy

> Beryl Agatha Gilroy was a Guyanese educator, novelist, ethno-psychotherapist, and poet. The Guardian described her as "one of Britain's most significant post-war Caribbean migrants." She emigrated from British Guiana to London in 1951 as part of the Windrush generation, to attend the University of London, then spend decades teaching, writing, and improving education. She worked primarily with Black women and children as a psychotherapist, and her children's books are lauded as some of the first representations of Black London. She is perhaps best known as the first Black head teacher in London.

*Guyanese writer (1924-2001)*
