Special: Black, Brown & White - Brown

Summary

Continuing our special 4 part series on race, we continue the exploration and exposing of our vulnerabilities by sharing our stories of growing up, black, brown and white, exposing how that has shaped our identity and normative beliefs on race. Over the series we also describe what we can all do, as individuals, companies and at a societal level to move the needle. This episode moves to “Brown” - through the lens of Vips, an Indian Brit, growing up in London.

3. What’s it’s like to live in a mixed-family, and have a son that looks white!
