Women from the Jamaican diaspora in Handsworth, Birmingham on settling in 1960s Britain

Women from the Jamaican diaspora in Handsworth, Birmingham on settling in 1960s Britain.

Aasmah Mir hosts an intimate and revealing discussion between three women from the Jamaican diaspora in Handworth, a suburb of Birmingham. Enid Weir arrived in a cold, damp, dark Britain in 1960 and instantly wanted to return to Jamaica. But, at the age of 77, she now calls the UK her home. Joining her is 45-year-old businesswoman Sharon Warmington and 22-year-old student Rheanna Russell.
