In this bonus episode, we speak to Elaine Clarke, the daughter of Betty Campbell, the first Black headteacher in Wales.
Elaine Clarke tells us about the Hidden Heroines project which recognised women’s contribution to the community in Wales, and shares stories about her mother and her life, giving back to the community and advocating for people of colour in Butetown and beyond.
