Emma Slade Edmondson in conversation about growing up mixed-race in Britain.
What does it mean to grow up mixed-race in Britain without the language, books or representation to fully understand your identity?
Using her book Mixed as the starting point, Emma Slade Edmondson reflects on childhood, family, belonging and the pressure to explain or divide who you are.
She explores what she wishes she had been given when she was younger, how those experiences shaped her, and what parents, carers and educators can now offer the next generation.
An honest conversation about identity, representation and raising children who know they are never half of anything.
