17.3 Ellen Nichols, Writer

What are you waiting for? Viv Groskop talks to writer, Ellen Nichols, author of Remember Whose Little Girl You Are. Now in her 70s, Ellen Nichols has published her first book – a memoir of growing up in the Deep South in the fifties and sixties. Ellen shares how her confidence to speak the truth was nurtured from a young age by her father, a Methodist preacher who spoke out against segregation in the face of vicious opposition. One memory of an encounter with the Ku Klux Klan as a young child imprinted itself on her mind forever and she discusses how her mantra: 'just be honest' has guided her over the years. Ellen reminds us to seize the day and trust our instincts for using our voice to say things as we see them.

Find out more about Ellen Nichols Remember Whose Little Girl You Are.

A new updated edition of Viv's book, How to Own the Room is out now.
