Sonita Alleyne is the Master of Jesus College, Cambridge, the first woman to hold the post and - more significantly - the first black master of any Oxbridge college. In her previous career in the media, she was the co-founder and former CEO of the production company Somethin’ Else.

Born in Barbados, she came to England aged three and grew up in East London, the youngest of three children. She was an able reader by the time she started primary school, and her potential was spotted at her secondary school, where she was encouraged to apply to Cambridge.

She read philosophy at Fitzwilliam College and, after a brief and unfulfilling spell selling life insurance, she followed her passion for jazz by starting to write for music magazines. In 1989 she joined the radio station Jazz FM. When she was made redundant a couple of years later, she and two former Jazz FM colleagues set up a production company they called Somethin’ Else.

Sonita stepped down as CEO in 2009 to concentrate on other boardroom roles. She served on the BBC Trust for nearly five years, sits on the board of the London Legacy Development Corporation, and founded the Yes Programme to show primary school pupils their future career options. She is a fellow of the Radio Academy and a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts.

Sonita began her ten year tenure as Master of Jesus College in October 2019. She lives in Cambridge with her partner, the screenwriter James McCarthy, and their teenage son.

索尼塔-阿莱恩是剑桥大学耶稣学院的院长，是第一位担任该职务的女性，更重要的是，她是牛津剑桥学院的第一位黑人院长。在她之前的媒体生涯中，她是制作公司Somethin' Else的联合创始人和前CEO。

她出生在巴巴多斯，三岁时来到英国，在东伦敦长大，是三个孩子中最小的一个。在她开始上小学的时候，她已经是一个能干的读者，她的潜力在她的中学被发现，在那里她被鼓励申请剑桥。

她在菲茨威廉学院读哲学，在经历了短暂而不令人满意的人寿保险销售后，她开始为音乐杂志撰稿，追随她对爵士乐的热情。1989年，她加入了广播电台Jazz FM。几年后，当她被裁员时，她和两个前爵士调频的同事成立了一个制作公司，他们称之为Somethin' Else。

2009年，索尼塔辞去了首席执行官的职务，专注于其他董事会的工作。她在BBC信托基金任职近五年，是伦敦遗产发展公司的董事会成员，并创立了Yes计划，向小学生展示他们未来的职业选择。她是广播学院的研究员和皇家艺术鼓励协会的研究员。

索尼塔于2019年10月开始担任耶稣学院院长的十年任期。她与她的伴侣，编剧詹姆斯-麦卡锡，以及他们十几岁的儿子住在剑桥。
