Event details
Baroness Floella Benjamin is well-known as a presenter of TV’s Playschool, as an actress, broadcaster, and parliamentarian and for the work she does for charity. In this interactive event, Floella takes pupils through her film Coming to England (2005) – a stunning adaptation of her autobiography directed by her husband, Keith Taylor – charting her journey from Trinidad to Britain in the early 1960s.
Following the screening Floella will talk to pupils and explore the themes of difference, discrimination and anti-bullying through her own inspiring story. As a Baroness in the House of Lords, Floella champions equality and promotes feelings of worth in children. Pupils leave this event truly inspired, believing her motto ‘I am worthy!’.
