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.

Charlotte, 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.

Author Charlotte Shyllon
Charlotte is a senior business professional with nearly three decades’ experience working primarily in communications and business development. Following the killing of George Floyd in 2020, she wrote her first book of poems, Black in White, to share some of her experiences of racism in the corporate world. She then ran a poetry competition for four years to elicit other people’s stories about workplace and childhood racism.
In 2024, she set up The Transforming Words Foundation to expand this work and now uses her diversity and inclusion expertise to bring insight and illumination to these important issues. Charlotte is a British Sierra Leonean and is mum to two adult children.
