Priya Joi on Parenthood, Race and Identity

Brown Game Strong

Join us as we sit with Priya, a renowned science journalist and author of her debut book, Motherland: What I’ve Learnt about Parenthood, Race and Identity. In this conversation we talk about Priya’s own childhood experiences whilst living between India and the UK, fast forwarded to her now raising her daughter to embrace her Indian-Bangladeshi heritage, growing up in France and Spain. Some heartwarming gems on a mother-daughter relationship, how your kid may one day turn around and want to look like Elsa from Frozen, and how as parents we can be more conscious of the nuances of race and identity when raising our children.
