We discussed the intersections of London and West Country accents with race and family history and that certainly gives us options. I became particularly interested in the poet Louisa Adjoa Parker as a model.

She mentions in this interview that despite her growing up in various parts of the West Country, she doesn’t have that traditional dialect. I would call her accent Modern London or Estuary, and that does make sense for the character.
