Wilfred Emmanuel Jones 'The Black Farmer: Diversifying the Farming Industry'
This week Michelle has an unforgettable conversation with Wilfred Emmanuel Jones OBE, also known as The Black Farmer. In this episode, Wilfred takes us on his life journey of success. He arrived in the UK as part of the Windrush generation to live in Birmingham in a poverty-stricken environment. But Wilfred had one dream and this was that he would one day own a farm and his father's allotment had a huge influence on this decision. So everything that he did up until now has been a detrimental part of his journey. After experiencing a tough time at school, Wilfred was diagnosed with dyslexia, which he now refers to as a superpower. After attaining a successful career in Television and PR he decided to follow his dream, so he moved to Devon and this is where The Black Farmer brand began. This conversation is so powerful and influential, Wilfred has overcome adversity, battled a serious and severe form of leukemia, which he speaks about in his book Jeopardy and paved the way for diversity within the farming industry. We end the conversation about why it's important to treat animals with care and kindness.
