Episode One: Meet Maame

Available for over a year

Meet Maddie – she’s 25, single, a virgin, working in a dead-end job where she is the only Black person in the office, still living at home. Her life is full of worry; she’s a carer for her father who has Parkinson's, her mum is away in Ghana, her brother is useless. But things are about to change for Maddie as dramatic events force her to re-evaluate her life and take control. Maame, by Jessica George, is a heart-warming and empowering story of a young woman finding her way in the world. Reader: Clare-Hope Ashitey Producer: Nicola Holloway Abridged by Rowan Routh
