Summary

When veteran BBC journalist Laura Trevelyan discovered her family was involved in slavery in Grenada, she did what journalists do: investigate. As the details of the story emerged, Laura and her family worked to make a plan. Kelly and Laura discuss the importance of acknowledgment, the role of historical truth in healing, and the Trevelyan's path toward family-led reparations.

Link to Laura's X post with images of the Trevelyan family's letter of apology.
