As the first recipients of the Stormzy Scholarship to Cambridge in 2018, Drew Chateau and Joseph Vambe didn’t know what to expect. They had already been accepted at the university, to do law, and human, social and political sciences respectively.
After graduating, Vambe, 23, joined the Labour party as an administrative secretary before being elected as a Labour councillor last year, making him the youngest councillor in Southwark, London. Chateau, 24, is completing her legal training at an international law firm and hopes to specialise in property law. Sitting alongside Stormzy, they reflect on their time at university, their upbringings, and what it means to give back to the place you’re from.
