<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Brown Girl in the Ring is a beautifully crafted, deeply personal memoir; not only is it the ultimate message on how to put an end to racism, it is a true story for our times.</strong></p><p>In this, her first book, she tells of her momentous struggle growing up as a mixed-race child in Scotland. She describes, in horrific, gut-wrenching detail, the treatment she received at the hands of the so-called 'good people' of Scotland; acts of racism that continued into adulthood and wreaked havoc for her as a wife and a mother of four children.</p><p>Her captivating story calls out unconscious, racial bias - even in her own family - but through the obvious pain and suffering, she still allows her sense of humour and her deep love for her husband and her children to shine through.</p><p>Not content with just telling her story, Ogunyemi spells out her quest to tackle racism head-on, but not with a 'call to arms'. Forget anger and finger-pointing and think more sit-down chat with someone who understands. She lives and breathes compassion, not blame.</p><p><em>Olukemi Ogunyemi is a highly successful body therapist, who also speaks and blogs on racism and transgender issues - </em><strong><em>olukemiogunyemi.com</em></strong></p>
