Mixed Up Book Club with Georgina Lawton on growing up being told you’re white when you’re mixed Black, the problem with colourblind parenting and the gatekeeping of Blackness

The one where we find the discussion around mixed identity lacks compassion

Emma and Nicole speak to Georgina Lawton, journalist and author of Raceless: In Search of Family, Identity, and the Truth About Where I Belong.

In her memoir, Georgina chronicles growing up being told by both parents that she was white, but after her father died in her early 20s, she uncovered the truth that her biological father was black.
