"Black history is British history and this book not only tells the story of another Black person, but also highlights the success of an individual who came to Britain in the 1960s and lived a successful life.".I review Baroness @FloellaBenjamin's book.

Baroness Benjamin’s latest memoir is a refreshing and timely reflection on the evolution of Black life in Britain from the 1960s to today

I've met @LondonFire & @LondonFBU. I am reassured race played no part in their response to the Grenfell Tower fire. Learning about the conditions firefighters faced that night has been insightful, apologies for any upset caused. I'm confident how valued equality is to LFB & FBU.
