Ordinary people have presented extraordinary stories through the power of poetry, shedding light on the challenges of racism, so we never forget its ugliness and we recognise the need to address it if we as a people are to progress.Dr Marvelle Brown, Associate Professor - Programme Team Lead for Public Health, University of HertfordshireCharlotte, your latest book...like the others, is full of insight, forcing one to think about the world we have constructed yet full of inspiration for change - thanks to you and the other contributors.Anna Kyprianou, Pro Chancellor, Middlesex University

A compilation of poems about racism in the workplace and in childhood, including winning entries from the second Black in White Poetry CompetitionThis book, like its predecessor, is dedicated to all those who see and value the benefits of equality, diversity and inclusion, and who labour actively in whatever capacity within this field to help open the minds of those who are the reason why these poems have been written... "As I read the poems I was moved, more than I ever expected, and then made angry, disgusted and frustrated that individuals are still being denied fair opportunities, are attacked and made to feel less, to be devalued. I was also inspired and felt the beauty of the poems..."Avril Lee, Chair of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations' Diversity and Inclusion Network"I was so genuinely impressed by the quality of entries. Impressed, too, by the diversity of voice, style, and lived experience. There was an abundance of passion, mainly, I believe, due to the addition of the 'childhood racism' category. The entries... were evocative and profound."Serena Malcolm, judge, Black in White Poetry Competition 2022
