Black Boy Can't Fly?

Marcelle Roujade

 Jul 26, 2015

Narrated by a devoted mother, this memoir-like narrative follows her son, Anthony—a Black youth growing up in West London’s Ladbroke Grove. Against social and cultural barriers, he sets out to pursue his dream of becoming a commercial pilot. The book tracks his journey through pilot school, his struggles with elitism and cultural identity, and his determination to rise above external doubts. It’s a record of trials, triumphs, and unwavering maternal support.
