We are delighted here at CG Optical, to be supporting the Stratford Literary Festival once again in its Autumn season.
Clive Myrie will talking about his latest book Everything is Everything on Friday 27 October 7.15pm at The Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Subtitled A Memoir of Love, Hate and Hope, the newsreader, Mastermind presenter and war reporter charts a career from paper rounds in Bolton to the pinnacle of news broadcasting, reflecting on race, class and how he refuses to be defined by his background. He’ll talk about how his family history has influenced his view of the world, and on how being black has affected his perspective on issues he’s encountered in 30 years reporting on some of the biggest stories of our time, most recently from Ukraine.
The Stratford Literary Festival is a registered charity with aims to encourage a love of books and writing, and to use books and writing to educate, improve well-being and increase the life skills that reading and writing can bring.
The event fits perfectly with the good work we like to support in the Community.
