Big Zuu first graced our screens in 2019 with Big Zuu’s Big Eats; his charisma and infectious laugh meant audiences fell for Zuu. The show went on to win multiple BAFTAs, against some of the biggest names in British television but it was a moment he couldn’t enjoy because he had an important message to relay…

Zuu has overcome incredible odds to be where he is today - it’s a journey of strength and power of community to help one another. We cover:

Growing up with a single mum who escaped the war in Sierra LeoneDiversity in the television industry and why it mattersMaking music with his cousin AJ TraceyZuu’s insecurities and religionWhy we should all volunteer

It’s a conversation that left me feeling energised and hopeful for a better future with people like Zuu having a platform.
