Trigger Warning - This podcast contains references to  mental health, racism and racial slurs.

This podcast episode digs deep inside the British melting pot; what happens when your parents come from different countries, cultures, religions and races.  And how does  the distinct feeling of otherness projected onto your face because you look just a little bit “different" affect your views later on?

Listen as we allow the space and time to devote to giving life to this much needed conversation,  in exploring the backgrounds and experiences of the multitude of ‘peoples’ that sit within the vast spectrum of what it means to be ‘multi-heritage’. Join us as we gain a more compassionate understanding of race and identity. We can't wait for you to hear this episode!
