Baroness Rosalind Patricia-Anne Howells, born in St Patrick, Grenada, and raised in Crochu, St David, emerged as a towering figure in both Caribbean and British society. Her upbringing in a politically active family instilled in her a resilience and a commitment to justice that defined her life’s work. Educated at St Joseph’s Convent, she was known for her unwavering stance against injustice, a trait that would later shape her career. Her family, including her sister Dame Hilda Bynoe, Grenada’s first Governor, played pivotal roles in the region’s history. Baroness Howells herself served as Grenada’s Deputy High Commissioner in London before the revolution, a role she considered a privilege. Moving to the UK in 1951, she aspired to become a lawyer but faced financial constraints, taking on various jobs, including one at a public library where she met her future husband, John Charles Howells. The late 50s and 60s marked a period of significant migration from the Commonwealth to the UK, during which Baroness Howells became a key advocate for immigrants, drawing on her own experiences to support others. Her early career in the UK involved working with unsupported mothers at a youth club founded by Sybil Phoenix, where she confronted racism and prejudice head-on. Her reasoned yet firm advocacy soon gained her recognition, leading to her appointment to the House of Lords in 1999, where she served until 2021. Baroness Howells’ community work, particularly in Lewisham and Greenwich, made a profound impact, as she championed race equality and social justice. She served on numerous boards and councils, including the University of Greenwich and the Greater London Race Equality Council, and was Chancellor of the University of Bedfordshire from 2009 to 2014. Her contributions were widely recognized, earning her an OBE in 1994 and an Honorary Doctorate of Civil Law from Northumbria University in 2014. Despite her achievements in the UK, Baroness Howells remained deeply connected to Grenada, supporting various organizations and serving on the Academic Advisory Board of St George’s University (SGU). She was also a member of the WINDREF Board of Trustees, becoming its President in 2013. Her legacy is one of unwavering dedication to justice, equality, and the betterment of society, leaving an indelible mark on both the Caribbean and the UK.
