Description
“Mixed-race identity presents opportunities and challenges. There's some bad, but there's also some good. So I have to take both.”
Remi Adekoya is a Polish-Nigerian living in the UK, and the author of “Biracial Britain: A Different Way of Looking at Race” - and we had a great conversation on biracial identity — growing up, fitting in, standing out...and kids. Born the son of a Nigerian father and a Polish mother, Remi’s a lecturer of politics a the University of York, the former political editor of the Warsaw Business Journal, and he’s written for Foreign Affairs, Politico, and several well known Polish newspapers. Remi’s currently conducting PhD research on identity politics, having provided socio-political commentary and analysis for the BBC, Foreign Policy, Stratfor, and Radio France International, among others. But as a bi-racial man, researcher, author, journalist, and father - Remi engages in conversation with a unique lens to uncover common - and uncommon - truths. Basically, Remi’s the perfect podcast guest for us, and for anyone who wants to understand the inevitable makeup of the biracial world we are living in =)
