About Last Night... Brit(ish) Launch in London's Leicester Square
Last night, I joined a group of invited guests at a venue in London’s Leicester Square to celebrate the launch of Brit(Ish), a new book written by writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch.
I first met Afua in 2017, when I hired her to host my company AB2020’s Tech in Ghana Conference - and she did a superb job (hence why she’ll be joining us again in March this year).
I (and clearly many others) had to attend and show support for Brit(ish), which explores Afua’s thoughts on ‘race, identity and belonging'.
Afua's intriguing search for identity stems from her comfortable middle-class childhood; growing up in London with her Ghanaian-born mother and English Jewish father.
Afua’s mum, dad, grandmother and sister were all in attendance last night, where it was also announced that the book's been so popular, publishers Jonathan Cape have had to print another batch!
Congratulations and well done Afua - a genuinely lovely person. Looking forward to reading this one ; )
Congratulation to Afua :) Its great that she is again joining you in march :)
Friendship is one of the greatest things you can have in life! Love the diversity!
Very fastatic in the world of good entertainment companions
