Stewart is a black, Bafta-nominated director, who recently directed the film “Black and Scottish”. The film is very personal to his own experiences as he moved to Scotland at the age of two after being born in Kenya.  *********************Check out the <a href="https://storiesofmenpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stories Of Men website</a> for more on this storyWe're also on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/storiesofmenpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Storiesofmen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/storiesofmenpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>A <a href="https://our-voices.captivate.fm/fascinate-productions" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fascinate</a> Production
