What does it mean to be black and British?

What does it mean to be black and British?

By Sky News

Government data shows nearly two million black Britons live in England and Wales – each with their own, unique experience.

But the COVID pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests throughout 2020 exposed some of the inequalities and disparities that still exist in society.

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast, host Gamal Fahnbulleh explores his own sense of identity and belonging after recently becoming a father for the first time.

We hear from his sister Miatta Fahnbulleh, journalist Twiggy Jalloh and Abu Yillah, who is a poet and filmmaker, as they share their thoughts on their Sierra Leonean heritage and straddling two cultures.

Gamal and his wife Liz also reflect on what making the documentary 'Black, British and Belonging' has meant for their family.
