About
Lola Young has been an actress, an academic, an activist and campaigner for social justice, and a crossbench peer. But from the age of eight weeks to 18 years, she was moved between foster care placements and childrens homes in North London.
In Eight Weeks , Lola assembles the pieces of her past into a portrait of a childhood in a system that often made her feel invisible and unwanted. It tells the story of her determination to defy the odds and is a spirited, eye-opening and beautifully written account of being a child in care and a Black child in a white family. It is a vital part of contemporary Black British history.
Baroness Lola Young will be talking about her life with Steven Gale, who works at literary festivals all over the world.
Booking opens for Sponsors, Benefactors and Friends at 9am on 16th August.
Booking opens to the public at 9am on 23rd August.
