Welcome to the official website of Baroness Floella Benjamin, OM DBE DL
Hello and welcome to my website. This is where you can find out everything you want to know about me. From my work as an actress, presenter, broadcaster and parliamentarian, to the work I do for charity.
October is ‘Black History Month’ and I have recorded a short celebratory message about the importance of knowing our history and looking to the future, because that’s where our destiny lies. Watch my video message here.
My beloved mother ‘Marmie’ passed away in 2008… I miss her so, but feel her presence in everything I do, especially when I find a white feather which means she’s watching over me. A beautiful woman whose legacy lives on and will do forever through her children, her grandchildren and her great grand children. Sadly, she died from bowel cancer, that is why I am a patron of Bowel Cancer UK
