For years (when healthy) Luol Deng has been money on the court for the Bulls, now he’s money in Brixton — literally.
Created to support Brixton businesses and encourage local trade and production. The Brixton Pound (B£) is money that sticks to Brixton as a complementary currency, working alongside (not replacing) pounds sterling, for use by independent local shops and traders.
Deng is being featured along with activist Lenford Kwesi Garrison, World War II secret agent Violette Szabo, and musician David Bowie on the Brixton Pound to celebrate it’s second anniversary in circulation. Luol was honored to appear on the notes being recognized as a Brixton hero where he will always hold the city very close to him.
“I am honoured to be featured on the new Brixton Pound notes. I grew up in Brixton as a young teenager playing basketball for the Brixton Topcats which marked the beginning of my career. So it is with great pleasure that I am helping to support the local community that played a vital part in getting where I am today.”
