If you only listen to one DBC episode, make it this one! You'll get serious wisdom and insight into life, society and thoughts on writing. Hashi Mohamed came to the UK age 9 as a Kenyan-born Somali refugee. He grappled with poor housing, schooling and prospects to find his way to a career as barrister - one of the UK's most elite professions. He talks to Hajar about his memoir People Like Us: What it Takes to Make it in Modern Britain and two of his favourite novels: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig and Disgrace by JM Coetzee.
