Making My Mark

Yvette writes about her careers as she lived them - with boundless energy in an open and vivid style. In a unique approach, her story is interspersed with revealing conversations she recorded with many of her close women friends.

First, Yvette was an actor, then award-winning documentary and BAFTA drama filmmaker; later an exhibited artist, plus book co-author/editor too. She unveils behind-the-scenes insights into her remarkable careers. She is a woman with a clear agenda for change who embraces life with passion. Her commitment to socially-relevant filmmaking, to equality and human rights campaigning is undisputed. Life was not straightforward.

Yvette honestly explores her personal failings and achievements, whilst juggling a complicated personal life. Her drive to make order out of the chaos around her, her appetite for justice, along with her great warmth, are all there on the page!
