Welcome to season 2 episode 1 of Brown Baby podcast. This week's guest is actress and writer, Shobna Gulati. She is best known for dinnerladies, for Coronation Street, Loose Women, Celebrity Masterchef, and many more. She also wrote a memoir that came out this year called Remember Me?, which is a beautiful and sad book about losing a parent to dementia based on her experiences caring for her mother, who died in 2019.[9] During publicity interviews for the book, Gulati revealed that she had contracted Coronavirus earlier in 2020. We talk about her son finding his way in the world, the act of remembering for memoir, telling our children stories and what football team her son is allowed to support. It’s a soulful chat that we recorded over zoom early this year.

This is a podcast about parenting. It asks the question how do we raise our kids to be joyful in bleak times that make us so sad and angry. Each week, I invite a parent on to chat to me about their parenting journeys, how they’re navigating these tricky times with their kids, how to have big important conversations and how to still have fun and enjoy the world. This is a hopeful podcast about parenting. It’s inspired by my memoir, Brown Baby: A Memoir Of Race Family And Home, which has been out since February this year. I hope you have a copy!
