The story of Maurice Hope begins on December 6, 1951, in Saint John's, Antigua, beneath the warm Caribbean sun. He was surrounded by the island's tight-knit people and lively culture. However, as a member of the Windrush generation, his life would drastically change when his parents decided to leave their home country in search of a brighter future in England. Maurice and his siblings moved to Hackney, a busy borough in East London when they were nine years old. The change was abrupt; the vibrant scenery he had left behind was drastically contrasted with the gloomy streets and tall skyscrapers.
