Praise for Blackstar Britain

"In publishing Blackstar Britain, Media Diversified gives a timely heartwarming and confident Akwaaba to the full spectrum of all that it means to be British and Ghanaian. A marvel of a book that brings joy to my heart."

- Charles Thompson MBE, Screen Nation Media

“The importance of this book is that we have created a place to tell that story, to recognise the richness of its content, the diversity of its form – from these well essay to verse, personal biography to interviews that span generations. My hope is… that it will spawn more stories, more books, more conversations about our mission and purpose, regardless of where we are.”

- Afua Hirsch, Writer and Broadcaster

“So, I am absolutely, I am British and no one is going to make me not feel British, but at the same time there is something spiritually about what locates me that will mean that I will be forever African and always a Ghanaian.”

- Augustus Casely-Hayford OBE, Historian, Curator and Lecturer
