“Well. It’s certainly not a competition as to who is one of the foremost Black Feminist Writers, Social Critics and Creative Entrepreneurs in London; but even though Siana Bangura is one of them; it’s her Sierra Leonean heritage that has distinguished her to feature in this article… I don’t know where to start with this fiercely talented social woman – but goodness me she is good at what she does.”
