Description
The two-time Sunday Times bestselling author and journalist Candice Brathwaite grew up in Brixton, south London.
Candice first became known for her conversations about the often over-looked experience of Black mothers in the UK which became the subject of her raw, searing and witty 2020 book, 'I am Not Your Mother'.
