'Oh, these children are going to grow up feeling like they have a place – not like they are being tolerated.'
She went on to explain that the response is particularly touching for her, as she moved to Gloucestershire from Leeds as a child, which alongside having a Ghanaian father and a British mother, led to her feeling ostracised.
"I sometimes felt as though I wasn't seen for myself, although that also meant I was more resilient. In a small West Country farming village, to be mixed race with a strong Leeds accent meant I was already a different order of gravy. "There were levels of familiarity, and people getting to know us. Having a strong Yorkshire accent was as much a part of that as my race. Some people were like, 'We can’t have that coloured girl in here – what would the neighbours think?!' But, similarly, there were other houses where I was enormously welcomed."
