As a child of the Windrush Generation, I invite you commemorate this day and learn about the wonderful things that are part of our society thanks to the brave people who left their homes in the Caribbean behind, wishing to build their lives anew in the UK.
I’m happy to say that Sue Harris, a great woman who has been involved with my projects for emerging female musicians, is featured in the TV show ‘Three Little Birds.’
Today is Windrush Day, when we commemorate the immigration on board of the HMT Empire Windrush. As a child of the generation of Jamaicans that arrived to the UK during that time, let me tell you about how the culture of the island permeates my daily life.
Re/counted is a project which seeks to capture the development and growth of gospel music throughout the Midlands from the arrival of Windrush. I’m featured in two episodes!
Since 2018, the UK committed to celebrate Windrush Day every year on June 22, to honor the British Caribbean community. For the ocassion, the Musicians Union invited Millicent to write for the guest blog, exploring the impact that the Windrush Generation has had on her and the British music scene as a whole.
