When Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason's eldest daughter, Isata, made her solo debut at the BBC Proms, she could not have been prouder. Watching years of hard work transform into a transcendent performance was profoundly moving, both as music-lover and as a parent. All this fractured when her younger daughter came to her in tears a few days later, having read online abuse about her sister. So how do you prepare your child for the fact that, no matter their talent, they will be told they do not belong? Through conversations with her extraordinarily gifted family, Kanneh-Mason explores what it's like to come of age in these turbulent times.
