Season 1 Episode 5: Kit de Waal And Seeing Yourself

Welcome to the Brown Baby podcast! This week, we talk to award-winning writer Kit de Waal about growing up mixed race in the Midlands in the 60s, raising mixed race kids, adopting kids, the power of seeing yourself, and writing. An illuminating look at the creative genius of an exceptional writer.


Kit is the author of My Name Is Leon, The Trick To Time, Becoming Dinah and the recent short story collection, Supporting Cast. She also edited the anthology Common People. Nikesh is a writer and editor, the author of 'Brown Baby'. Buy a copy of Brown Baby here: https://linktr.ee/nikeshshukla


How do we raise our kids with joy and wonder in uncertain and – let’s face it – increasingly bleak times?


This is the question explored in weekly podcast Brown Baby, hosted by writer (and dad of two) Nikesh Shukla. Inspired by his forthcoming memoir, Brown Baby: A Memoir of Race, Family and Home, each week Nikesh invites fellow parents of brown babies - writers, musicians, chefs, comedians, actors and more - to talk about their parenting journeys and the highs and lows they’ve experienced along the way.


A frank, funny and poignant look at parenting, Brown Baby will spark honest, self-effacing conversation about how we tell our kids about the world. Featuring parenting fails, plus the best (and worst) advice Nikesh and his guests have ever received, this is the comforting, uplifting podcast for anyone who’s ever found themselves searching for answers in a sleep-deprived Google hole.
