The Quiet Life Episode 25: Raising Kind Kids with Uju Asika
This week Michael talks to multiple award-nominated blogger, screenwriter and author Uju Asika, expanding the conversation around racism, and tackling why raising kind kids is so important. A powerful conversation about living as a minority in the UK, with an open and honest look at the experiences of growing up in a culture ready to mark you as different and the changes we can make, not just as parents but as compassionate human beings. On her popular blog Babes About Town, Uju she shares witty, informative and beautifully written stories about London, culture and family life. A former journalist, she’s written for publications such as The Guardian and Time Out, and as a screenwriter and script editor, she’s worked on some of Africa’s hottest TV shows, including the award-winning series Tinsel. Born in Nigeria, Uju grew up in the UK and has worked in London, New York and Lagos. She now lives in North London with her husband and two football-mad boys.
