This Black History Month, Palace for Life Foundation spoke to a range of south London's most successful black role models who shared their advice for the next generation, discussing everything from what it takes to reach the top to dealing with racism. They each answered questions that had been suggested by pupils from Rockmount Primary School.
The inspirational group came together as part of a special film produced by Palace for Life to be shown in local primary schools with the intention of encouraging children of all backgrounds to achieve their potential.
One of Palace’s most recent signings, Eberechi Eze, grew up in Greenwich and returned to south London from Queens Park Rangers this summer.
