When Afua Hirsch hit forty years old, she had an encounter that made her rethink her own, and society’s, attitudes towards body image and ancestry. That’s now the basis of her new book Decolonising My Body, which follows her year-long journey through what she calls “Radical Unlearning”.
In this episode of the Standard, Sagal Mohammed talks to Afua about her book, and we have an exclusive extract from the audiobook version involving a life-changing encounter with Oprah Winfrey. You can find the video of this interview on our Youtube channel and there's also a further extract from the book at standard.co.uk
