This month, BBC Radio 4 created a radio portrait of Sybil Phoenix, the first Black woman to receive an MBE, in 1972, and a key figure in the Black community in London during challenging times.
Sybil is mentor, colleague and friend to our CEO and Founder Yvonne Field OBE. They worked closely together for several years as the co-chairs of the ‘Friends of Marsha Phoenix’ – the fundraising arm of The Marsha Phoenix Memorial Trust.
You can listen to Sybil’s incredible story here.
