Exciting News!

 

I'm pleased to announce the release of my new book, Windrush: 7 Events that Changed Britain! This inspiring and transformative story explores how the Caribbean community has profoundly shaped Britain. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how their enduring success stands as a powerful testimony to the resilience and triumph of the human spirit.

 

Drawing on my experiences as a former BBC television producer, concert promoter, and key figure in Britain’s gospel music—as well as my background in politics and history, I bring a unique perspective to this narrative. It is a passion of mine to uncover the often-untold stories of the Windrush generation and in the book, I delve into the triumphs, challenges, and nuanced experiences that shaped Caribbean lives, and influenced British society, leaving an indelible mark on both. I also explain how in a new land the Windrush generation carved out spaces for themselves and built legacies that continue to impact Britain today.

Windrush: 7 Events that Changed Britain! is a powerful, and often untold story, covering the arrival of West Indians in Britain in 1948, to the historic election of the first Black MPs to the British Parliament in 1987. It charts seven significant events that the Windrush Generation brought to Britain and with these have changed it. It’s more than a historical account—more a testimony of the Windrush Generation perseverance, sense of community, and self-determination, all essential characteristics of the Windrush Generation.
