UK BCN x The Independent Present An Evening With Symeon Brown

Join Symeon Brown, author of The Good, the Black, and the Boujee, for an honest conversation about class, ambition, and Black Britain. The UK Black Comms Network is teaming up with The Independent to bring you An Evening With Symeon Brown, Channel 4 News Home Affairs correspondent and author of The Good, the Black and the Boujee: How Black Britain Became Middle Class. Symeon spent years researching the book, building the largest known data study of Britain's Black middle class and elite. What he found raises questions a lot of us already ask in private. How did so many Black Britons make it into the country's most visible industries? Why do so many still say getting to the top feels harder than ever? And what does a growing Black middle class mean for the people who aren't part of it? Join us for an intimate conversation, then ask your own questions in an open audience Q&A.
