The Independent and UK Black Comms Network to host Symeon Brown event

To mark Black History Month and the 40th anniversary of The Independent, the publication is partnering with the UK Black Comms Network to host an event in London on October 28.

The event, titled ‘An Evening With Symeon Brown’, will feature the Channel 4 News Home Affairs correspondent and author of ‘The Good, the Black and the Boujee: How Black Britain Became Middle Class’. The discussion will focus on themes of ambition, class, and the realities of Black excellence in Britain, exploring how Black Britons have ascended in visible industries and the implications of a growing Black middle class.
