The whole world is watching.

25 May, 2020. George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, is killed in Minneapolis while being arrested. His death, witnessed by horrified bystanders, is captured on camera - and within hours has spread far and wide across social media.

We’re all bystanders now.

The protests that follow express shock, sorrow, and outrage. Because what’s happened, has happened before - away from witnesses and cameras. The story didn’t begin here, and this is not where it ends…

Still Breathing assembles a cast of 100 Black voices to talk about their experiences of racism in Britain. Actresses Suzette Llewellyn (Eastenders) and Suzanne Packer (Holby City) are joined by musicians, members of Parliament, poets, artists, athletes, civil servants, doctors, lawyers, and more.

Touching on Windrush and the workplace, race riots and reforms, these essays seek to educate, to bear witness - and to offer hope for a better future, in Britain and around the world.

Visual contributions to Still Breathing are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Incredible book

As a black man in my 50s, living and working in London all my life, this book brought back so many memories, bad memories mind you, memories that I had deeply buried.
This book is helping me come to terms with these buried memories. This book as made me realise I am not alone in my buried trauma. Each and every story I feel I can relate to in so many ways.
I have now shared/grifted this book to so many people not of colour, so they can try to understand my pain the last couple of year since the lynching of George Floyd.
Thank you for the incredible book, I would like to also thank all the brave people for sharing their stories, my story, our story.
Thank you
