Description
Floella Benjamin's autobiography is a powerful and moving account of her life, from emigrating to the UK as a young girl to becoming a British household name. Born in Trinidad, she came to England in 1960 as part of the Windrush generation, where she faced racism and had to adapt to living in two cultures. Benjamin's journey took many paths, including a successful career in entertainment and a decades-spanning commitment to charitable causes. She shares her story with honesty and candour, revealing her experiences as a black woman in Britain and her determination to make a difference. This is a deeply personal and inspiring memoir that explores the complexities of identity, culture, and resilience. Through her remarkable life, Benjamin shows us the power of perseverance and the importance of staying true to oneself. What Are You Doing Here is a testament to her strength and courage, and a worthwhile read for anyone interested in stories of overcoming adversity and achieving greatness.
