'White, one of Britain's boldest journalists, has produced a warm, witty, delightful memoir which deserves to be widely read' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland
'I loved this book. A fascinating read written by a wonderful woman' Carol Vorderman
'To feel as though you belong and knowing who you are are both the most important necessities of life and essential to one's wellbeing. This historic, inspirational book demonstrates that' Baroness Floella Benjamin, OM DBE
Home is a vital base for us to thrive, yet, for some, the question of where home is isn't as simple as an address.
Depending on circumstance, 'home' may not simply be where we rest, eat and sleep. With the concept of home comes questions of ancestry, identity and belonging, and the understanding that there is no one fixed idea of what or where home is.
In No Place Like Home, Charlene White boldly shares her own story and understanding of home as a Jamaican Londoner exploring all the smells, memories and voices from her childhood.
Alongside her personal story, White interviews eight individuals who give their perspectives on home and their experiences that are shaped by myriad events from difficult family situations to desperate political upheaval and war. No Place Like Home is a powerful and heartfelt exploration of family, food and finding your place, as well as the moments in history that have changed the way we feel about the simplest of terms: 'home'.
Charlene has worked as a writer for the New York Post, a presenter for BBC Radio 1, BBC News Channel, BBC Five Live, BBC Three and currently hosts Loose Women. She was the first Black woman to present ITV News at Ten and uses her platform to educate children about race and racism, mentor aspiring journalists, and work alongside various organisations to achieve better representation of women and minorities in the industry. Charlene investigates what it means to be Black and British in her documentary Empire's Child, delving into her Jamaican ancestry and its links to the British Empire. She has co-hosted the notable documentary Has George Floyd Changed Britain? with Sir Trevor McDonald exploring the impact George Floyd's death had on people living in the UK. Most recently, she has taken part in the twenty second series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here... Home is her first book.
