The title 'journalistic legend' is how we'd like to describe our latest guest.

Mr multi-award winning journalist and author Gary Younge is about to release his latest book Dispatches from the Diaspora: From Nelson Mandela to Black Lives Matter.

Ranging from conversations with Stormzy, Maya Angelou, Andrea Levy and Lewis Hamilton to name but a few, to his presence during Obama's historical presidential election, and the natural disaster that was Hurricane Katrina. This career-spanning collection of journalism on race, racism and black life will take the reader on a journey through civil rights, politics and Gary's personal experiences.

Speaking to Akua at The British Blacklist, Gary discusses growing up in Stevenage, how he maintains his voice as a political and social commentator, who he rates right now and why Frasier is his guilty TV watching pleasure.

Dispatches from the Diaspora: From Nelson Mandela to Black Lives Matter will be available to read from March 16th 2023
