Critics Review
Advocate offers vital and illuminating perspectives on various marginalised experiences, bringing rigour and insight to conversations that we, as a society, need to be having. I felt empowered and grateful to share in Lennina’s story and lived experiences. Advocate is a book that is equally generous and insightful, putting much of modern British narratives into sharp perspective. Anyone with any interest in areas of social justice and the numerous intersections with identity needs to read this book. It’s a gift. Highly recommended. – Jeffrey Boakye, author of Black, Listed and I Heard What You Said
