Description

One of Britain's first Black MPs shares the values, people and beliefs that have forged her trailblazing path to power and gives others the conviction to improve the world around them. 'Dawn Butler is a history-making, game-changing, ceiling-smashing politician. This powerful book offers a fascinating insight into both the personal and political sides of her journey.' Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London 'When I was younger my parents taught me to be resilient and my brothers told me to be resistant, and now I think it's time for a revolution. Let's complete the power of three.' The third Black woman ever to be elected as an MP, Dawn Butler is a pioneer who speaks truth to power. Famously ejected from the House of Commons for calling Boris Johnson a liar, Dawn's sense of purpose has carried her over countless hurdles to help her stand up for what is right and influence transformation, from the Met Police to the NHS. Now, for the first time she recalls the pivotal moments in her life, to give others the courage and conviction to dream big and improve the world around them. Revealing how traditional routes to success and power are outdated, Dawn's story shows that by celebrating the strength of diverse communities, looking at an issue from all angles and embracing intersectionality, it's easier than we think to disrupt a broken system. This uplifting and hopeful read shows how anybody can make positive change, even when the world around us feels fractured beyond repair.
