Unravelling

Electronic book text

'In my life, I have had three names. First I was Vic, then I was Gamal and then I became G. It took a long time before I was comfortable just being me.'

Brought up as Vic with a white family in the rural suburbs of Kent, he was the only Black boy in his home and his town.

Until one day he is collected by his Nigerian father, when he became Gamal, a Muslim and a boy who was now required to assimilate to entirely new world at the diverse heart of London.

Eventually, he becomes G, the UK's first openly gay Black police officer, whose story was made into a BAFTA award winning documentary, The Black Cop.
