A Note From Gloria
When I created Letter To A Black Girl, I wanted to create the kind of conversations I longed to hear growing
up - ones where Black British women could speak openly about their journeys, their triumphs, challenges
and the wisdom
they would pass on.
Every episode is an invitation to listen, reflect and recognise the richness of our stories. My hope is that these
conversations become letters not only to our younger selves, but to every listener who needs to know they are
seen, capable and never alone.
Thank you for listening.
