Afua Hirsch, a British writer, and broadcaster, is best known for her book Brit(ish): On Race, Identity, and Belonging. She worked as a journalist for The Guardian newspaper and also as a barrister.

While her professional accomplishments were obvious, Afua had kept her personal life hidden for a long time. However, it has recently come to light that she is a married woman with a child.

Protects Daughter in Married Life

Afua is a married woman with a three-person family that includes her partner, Sam, and a daughter. Sam, her husband, is of Ghanaian descent and is from Tottenham in North London.

The 37-year-old met her partner and husband Sam when they were both in their twenties and pursuing legal careers.

However, the specifics of their dating and wedding remain unknown to this day.

Nonetheless, Afua has a daughter, who was born in 2011.

Although the author has not revealed the name of her daughter, her actions indicate at her affection for her child.

Afua discussed her seven-year-old daughter in an article for The Guardian while gushing about the 2017 terror attack. She stated that her daughter was looking forward to her school’s field trip to the Tower of London.

However, because terror rates were high at the time, Afua and other parents were concerned about their children’s safety. As a result, the parents were vehemently opposed to the field trip and it was canceled.

Afua’s actions for her daughter’s safety demonstrate that she is the best parent she can be. It would be nice if she shared more of her personal life with her followers.
