A powerful biography shining a light on the incredible forgotten legacy of the BBC’s first Black female broadcaster



The forgotten legacy of an icon, brought to light for the first time.



Una Marson was a true trailblazer: she made history by becoming the first Black female broadcaster at the BBC and paved the way for Black women and the amplification of Black voices in the media. Despite all this, though, her story has been all but forgotten by history.


A journalist, poet, playwright, broadcaster and activist, Una Marson played a pivotal role in bringing Caribbean culture to audiences in the UK, smashing glass ceilings and fighting against the racism and misogyny she faced.


Marson was a fierce political activist throughout her life, and in this rigorously researched and deeply personal biography, the life and achievements of this extraordinary, complex and multifaceted person will be told in full for the first time.

June Sarpong OBE is one of the most recognizable British television presenters and broadcasters, as well as being a prominent activist, having co-founded the WIE Network (Women: Inspiration and Enterprise) and the Decide Act Now summit. In 2019, she was appointed the first ever ‘Director of Creative Diversity’ at the BBC. Jennifer Obidike is an American ghost-writer and co-writer who has been living in London for more than a decade. She has worked with Penguin Random House and HarperCollins and runs a freelance editorial service called Let Me Read For You, where she offers structural editing on non-fiction and fiction, and coaches women to write first drafts of books that have been brewing in their minds for years.
