The family then lived in North London on a council estate, which is where Levy spent much of her childhood, going to the local school and speaking cockney.

After graduating from high school, she went to Middlesex Polytechnic, where she studied textile design. Thereafter, she worked for the BBC among other places as a costume assistant. It was while she was in her twenties that she came to realize how serious issues of race were. She was then working on a sex education project and remembers that the organizers of a racism awareness course asked attendees to gather by race.
