Black British Voices: âIt is time to change the narrativeâ Black people are not a standardized or uniform group. We felt it was past time to actually go and ask people themselves. Young Black people in particular get spoken about, but they donât often get spoken to - we aim to listen.â says Dr Monrose

A major national survey is launching to explore the evolution of Black British identities as part of a wider research project that has been described as the first of its kind.
The Black British Voices Project (BBVP) will give black people in the UK an opportunity to “define themselves in an autonomous way” for the first time, according to the researchers.
The project – a partnership between the University of Cambridge, the black-led consultancy I-Cubed Ltd, and Britain’s only national Black newspaper, the Voice – will provide an up-to-date portrait of Black British communities.
The research is led by the Cambridge sociologist and author Dr Kenny Monrose, and is backed by the entrepreneur Dr Maggie Semple OBE, the founder of I-Cubed Ltd and lead ambassador for the BBVP.
