My family’s Nigerian and Sierra Leone Creole… Culture was everything growing up. My Grandad was a barrister, extremely well educated, he always dressed in immaculate suits and was about the same age as Luke when he first sailed to England. His story and what he and my grandma went through is amazing… I took a lot of inspiration from him.
