Vital and illuminating . . . Advocate is a book that is equally generous and insightful, putting much of modern British narratives into sharp perspective . . . It's a gift' Jeffrey Boakye, author of Black, Listed and I Heard What You Said
Lennina Ofori is a force of nature: a teen mother, a supportive older sister, a PhD candidate, a support system, a social entrepreneur, a survivor. Above all, she is an advocate. She has spent her life working for those relegated to the margins, and in this book, she lends her voice to them.
Weaving in her own life story, from her beautiful family to her hardest struggles, Ofori opens the door to intersections that are familiar to many - race, class and gender - and uses her expertise to embolden readers to make active change in their own lives. Drawing on knowledge from across the globe, from the teachings of bell hooks to government reports, Ofori makes accessible topics that are so often ignored. From her unique perspective as a Black woman who has lived many lives, Ofori is a daring voice for change and hope in modern life.
Advocate is a tale of personal resistance, but also a manifesto for action. With great candour, wit and beautiful language, Ofori will call you to make change not just for your own sake, but for those in the margins
