Manifesto with Bernardine Evaristo

When Evaristo won the Booker Prize for her novel, Girl, Woman, Other, in 2019, she became an ‘overnight success’ — after 40 years of working professionally in the arts. The spotlight was finally on her, and she found herself sharing that she felt unstoppable as she reflected on what had led her to that point. Manifesto then, is Bernardine’s story of the journey she took to reach that huge milestone.

In our interview, Bernardine talks about what makes up a creative life, how to build resilience, how to use visualisation in personal development, the effects of social media and much more.
