What are you doing here?: My autobiography by Baroness Floella Benjamin

I am one of Floella's playschool babies.  I remember her beautiful smile on the TV when I was a little girl, and feeling like she was directly speaking to me.  And so I just loved this book - her early childhood (she was fierce!), her family's experiences in coming to the UK, and how she took everything that made her who she is into everything she did.  

I cried at the end - she has so tirelessly tried to make a difference, and she *has* made a difference, in a multitude of ways.  Not least of which is the recent introduction for women who have experienced early baby loss to be able to apply for a certificate to mark that, and it applies retrospectively.  I miscarried twice before having my children, and so I had applied for one - I'd had no idea she had worked on that.  So thank you, Floella.
