About this audiobook
Includes an audiobook-exclusive interview with Guvna B by TV and radio presenter Nihal Arthanayake!
Men are bold. Men are brave. Men are strong in the face of fear. But what happens when that strength crumbles?
Growing up on a council estate in East London, rapper Guvna B thought he knew everything he needed to know about what it means to be a man. But when a personal tragedy sent him reeling, he knew he had to face these assumptions head on if he was going to be able to overcome his grief.
In this intimate, honest and unflinching memoir, Guvna B draws on his personal experiences to explore how toxic masculinity affects young men today. Exploring ideas of male identity, UNSPOKEN is an inspirational account of Guvna’s journey.
Bring Guvna’s story to life with photos available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
