On the podcast this week we’re joined by writer, author and broadcaster Afua Hirsch.  She shares an extract from an article she was featured in when she was 18, marking the beginnings of her long history of writing about being black in Britain. In the rest of the episode, Afua speaks about the alienation that can come with being unapologetically black, why she’s unfazed about critics calling her ‘divisive’ and how she came to the decision to no longer put energy into trying to change the minds of ignorant people.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
