We Need To Talk About Whiteness - with Georgina Lawton

Ep 28: Whiteness and family - Georgina Lawton is a columnist, host, and the author of “Raceless”, a powerful memoir of growing up in a family with a deep secret which would lead to what she describes as “an erasure of her racial identity.” We discuss whiteness in the family, the pitfalls of ‘colour blind’ parenting, and how her own family secret mirrors the many secrets the UK isn’t quite ready to confront.
