Little Atoms 931- Lola Young's Eight Weeks

Baroness Lola Young of Hornsey became one of the first Black Women members of the House of Lords in 2004. Raised in foster care in North London, she studied at the New College of Speech and Drama, then worked as an actress, before becoming Professor of Cultural Studies at Middlesex University. Later, she worked in arts administration before receiving an OBE in 2001 and becoming an independent crossbench member of the House of Lords. She is active in campaigns on modern slavery and ethical fashion. In 2017 she was on the Man Booker Prize judging panel, and she is also Chancellor of the University of Nottingham. On this week’s episode of Little Atoms, the last of 2024, she talks to Neil Denny about her new book Eight Weeks: Looking Back, Moving Forwards, Defying the Odds.
