Grandma's journey: Olivia and Olivia

The Listening Project

Available for over a year

81 year old Olivia left her native Jamaica 52 years and came to Britain. She brought up nine children and worked hard to make a successful life, home and family in a new country. Her early years in Jamaica were not easy - her mother died young and her father left her in the care of relatives. In her conversation she talks to her 19-year-old granddaughter Olivia, who was named after her, and explains what life was like when she was a teenager.
