Gloria Daniel

Gloria Daniel

Gloria Daniel, born and raised in Notting Hill, London, is the third daughter of a Barbadian father and an Irish mother who met in 1950s London and married in 1960. Out of the racist riots of 1958, the Notting Hill Carnival was born, and the area’s rich cultural tapestry profoundly shaped Gloria’s early experiences. With a career rooted in history and heritage, she began as an antiques researcher and dealer before founding a successful ceramic brand in Stoke-on-Trent. Gloria, inspired by her deep connection to her ancestry and community, uses multidisciplinary arts and advocacy to confront historical erasure and demand reparative justice.
