Leonard Reid is a clothing brand owner from Preston.
Leonard grew up in an area of Preston called Fulwood, which he describes as having "a reputation for being a nice area."
Leonard states "very few people of colour lived in Fulwood when I was growing up, so I always felt ‘black’ if that makes sense... I was raised with manners and respect, so I never got into any trouble therefore most of my experiences where positive and in a lot of cases I was treated a lot better due to being black."
He describes life in Preston nowadays by saying "I don’t feel as alienated due to their being much more people of colour in Preston. I feel like people are more open to learning more about the black culture, as I regularly get questions about my experiences and opinions on certain situations."
