  • Summary

  • ITV Central's Pablo Taylor sat down with Reverend Eve Pitts of the Holy Trinity Church in Birmingham to talk about her life and journey to becoming Britain's first female Caribbean vicar.

    Reverend Eve moved to the UK from Jamaica in the 1960s to live with her mother in Nottingham. At the time the city wasn't as diverse as it is today, so the Black community stuck together - 'safety in numbers,' as she says.

    Racism has followed Eve throughout her life, as she tells Pablo, whether it be people shouting expletives from cars, police storming her youth club with a dog, or through a lack of career opportunities.

    In 1989, she became Britain’ first female Caribbean vicar and in 2009 was appointed to serve the Holy Trinity Church. She has been a trailblazer in promoting equal rights for women and tackling racial injustice.
