Natalie Morris on identity, race and the mixed experience in modern Britain

This was such an interesting conversation. Natalie Morris is a journalist and the author of Mixed/Other: Explorations of Multiraciality in Modern Britain, which draws on her own life experience as well as dozens of interviews to examine the mixed experience. From why she uses the term mixed, rather than mixed race, to the problem with brands' current enthusiasm for ethnically ambiguous models and how it makes her feel when people speculate as to the colour of any hypothetical child she might have, it's thoughtful, fascinating and hugely informative. I loved talking to Natalie about all of this - she was just so insightful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
