The event will launch "My Silk Road", successful businessman Ram Gidoomal's autobiographical account of his journey from a background of wealth and privilege in Kenya, through expulsion to the UK, beginning again in a corner shop in the suburbs, to business success and finally a life dedicated to public service.
The event will take the form of a discussion between the author and Dr Yvonne Thompson CBE DL, moderated by Lord Lee of Trafford, about the contributions that migrants from Commonwealth countries have made to public life. The event is highly relevant, at a time when migration is often portrayed as a challenge rather than the great asset to Britain that it is.
