Today on infinite human we welcome Laura Trevelyan. Laura has worked as an international journalist covering major war zones, peace treaties and more recently the jan 6th attack on the US capitol building.
Her last position was working as a news anchor for BBC world where she retired to focus on slavery repatriations in the Caribbean, notably Granada, where she discovered family ties to being slave owners. Rather than bury this fact, she has boldly put it out in the open to acknowledge the atrocities of the time, her family’s part and is addressing what reparations should look like. Through advocacy she has sparked conversations government wide.
Laura was recently given the honor of being named Chancellor of Cardiff University in Wales and we are honored that she is talking with us today.
