Barbara Blake Hannah: “I am African. I am Jamaican. I am British” We are British. It s our birth right and it s the only thing Britain has given us as reparations for the cruel history of slavery
For the past 50 years I have been living full-time in Jamaica, the land of my birth 80 years ago, enjoying life happily, gradually becoming a well- known writer, film maker, home-schooling mother and Rastafari Empress.
My life made contact with Britain only through the news, social media and friends that help link our beautiful tropical island with the rest of the world.
I hardly remembered living a decade of life in Britain in the 1960s, which ended when I became tired of British racism and having to pretend that it didn’t matter, and returned to my early home.
