This exceptional book, written with a mothers love for her seven creative children, sensitively offers profound and original insights and perspectives that enrich our culture. I feel so much wiser for reading it. Bernardine Evaristo 'A graceful, dignified and impassioned defence of Black excellence in the arts, which attempts to find a hopeful future for Black artistic self-expression.' Caroline Sanderson, Bookseller, editor's choice 'She writes stirringly about her various selves, what it means to be Black and Welsh, and the complicated issue of Englishness or Britishness (not, as she indicates, the same thing) while also writing with grace on encountering various forms of racism and microaggressions... Reading like a fascinating conversation with Kanneh-Mason, this is a lovely and gorgeously written meditation on creativity, raising children, identity, and self-acceptance.'
