Clive Myrie talks to Sylvia Emenike
Clive Myrie, 麻豆社 News presenter and son of Jamaican immigrants, asks Sylvia Emenike about her experiences of being an immigrant from Jamaica in the UK.
麻豆社 News presenter, Clive Myrie, presents the second of his three interviews on immigration as seen from an immigrant's point of view.
As the son of Jamaican immigrants who came to the UK in the 1960s, Clive has a personal interest in this topic. Clive lived abroad as a foreign correspondent for almost 15 years, returning once or twice a year to see his family. After 2004 he noticed how much the UK was changing: the EU had expanded, Polish people were settling here in large numbers and the transformation came as a shock.
In the first programme he spoke to Alp Mehmet, Vice-Chair of Migration Watch. This week he meets Sylvia Emenike. Sylvia came to the UK from Jamaica in the 1950s.
Clive will explore with Sylvia what her experience has been of living in the UK, but also of the changes she has seen since she moved here and her feelings about the waves of immigration that she's seen from other parts of the world.
