Big announcement coming today! I have been working on a new book with Lenny Henry. With Trump and the systemic dismantling of all the hard work we have done to tackle racism this book couldn't be more timely. This is how we take a stand.

Proud to announce a new book by Lenny Henry & I: “The Big Payback” A labour of love. An urgent call for reparations for slavery and how they would work, featuring experts, economists & campaigners. Pre-order now: linktr.ee/the_big_payback Cover features work by Aaron Douglas.
