Our September interview is with social commentator, activist and campaigner Patrick Vernon OBE. Born in Wolverhampton to a Jamaican family. Writing for 'The Guardian', 'The Voice', and 'Black History Month Magazine', Patrick is also a film maker and he directed and produced ”A Charmed Life” a documentary about the Caribbean contribution in the UK during the second world war. In 2020 Patrick published a book called “100 Great Black Britons” which was the culmination of a campaign prompted by the almost complete absence of black people from a list of the 100 greatest Britons published by the BBC.
For this conversation, Patrick was alongside interviewer Ellie M Blake and Write On! Editor Madeleine White.
