""An inspiring read from start to finish. It is not often you get to read a compilation of experiences and insight from such a diverse variety of Black British talent, who have all excelled in their chosen field.

The wisdom shared in the book will be invaluable for budding scientists, politicians, sportspeople, bankers and entertainers alike."" - Selina Flavius, author and founder of Black Girl Finance

Featuring interviews and letters from some of the UK's leading Black voices in their respective fields - including Beverley Knight MBE, Trevor Nelson MBE, Gina Yashere, Christine Ohuruogu MBE, Ronke Lawal, Kayode Ewumi, Kwame Kwei-Armah OBE, JB Gill, Tangy Morgan, Alexandra Burke, Professor Patricia Daley (the first Black woman to be appointed a lecturer at the University of Oxford) and Ashley Walters - Black and Great is essential reading for Black professionals ready to make their mark in the working world and beyond!
