Baroness Floella Benjamin is an inspiration, an actress and
much-loved children's television presenter who is a member of the
House of Lords. But how did the girl from Trinidad end up lunching
with the Queen? In What Are You Doing Here? Floella describes
arriving in London as a child, part of the Windrush generation, and
the pain caused by the racism she encountered every day. It was
offset by the love of her parents, who gave her the pride in her
heritage, self-belief and confidence that have carried her through
life. From winning a role in groundbreaking musical Hair (while
clearly stating she would not take her clothes off) to breaking
down barriers on Play School, from refusing to be typecast in roles
to speaking out for diversity at the BBC and BAFTA, she has
remained true to herself. She also reveals how she met husband
Keith, became a mother of two, was befriended by Kenneth Williams,
hugged President Obama, and found a purpose that would underpin
everything she did - campaigning for the needs of children. Sharing
the lessons she has learned, imbued with her joy and positivity,
this autobiography is the moving testimony of a remarkable woman.
