Welcome to Litsy!

First audio for #bookfitnesschallenge round 2! I‘m glad I read it, I like getting a wide look at different people‘s lived experience through, so the first black chief constable in the uk was fascinating to hear from. Having said that, I didn‘t agree with him on some things and that stopped me enjoying it really deeply. His never being political, being unwilling to embrace activism or change wider than the individual and not voting bothered me tbh

Fuller grew up in care, & although he faced discouragement & outright opposition, he went on to become the first ever black Chief Constable of Kent.

Powerful, fascinating, uplifting, shocking - Fuller doesn‘t hold back in describing the individual & institutional racism he encountered as a black police officer. Recommended read. 5🌟

This dramatic and inspiring memoir by Britain‘s first black chief constable powerfully illuminates the dynamics of racial conflict in England over the past fifty years from someone who was in a very unique position. Such a moving, powerful story about a truly good man!
