June Sarpong: "To someone, you are the most important person on this planet."

In this episode of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu chats to TV presenter and author June Sarpong. June talks to Lulu about the big turning points in her life - fleeing Ghana when she was only four years old; being in a serious car accident at the age of 14; getting a job presenting for MTV; and losing her brother ten years ago. She talks about what it was like to interview Bill Clinton; why she felt she had to leave the UK to move to America; the impact she felt she had working at the BBC as Global Director of Creative Diversity; and how she has learnt ways to 'fit in.'

Om Podcasten

The UK's greatest female rock n roll legend, Lulu, has been in the music industry for over 60 years. She's seen people come, she's seen people go. She's seen people make it, break it, fake it. She has seen them rise, and she has seen them fall.  And all the while she's had a curiosity - what is it that makes people tick? How have they got to where they are? Where does their motivation come from? Where do they get their resilience? When life throws curveballs, how have they overcome them? What are their turning points? In this brand-new project, Lulu sits down with guests to discuss the pivotal moments in their lives that have shaped them into the people they are today.
