In But Where Are You Really From? Amanda Khozi Mukwashi tells the story of her experience as a Christian Black woman with Zambian heritage, born and living in the UK. The book, her first, explores issues of race and culture and how it feels to be judged on skin colour when identity is made up of so many things.
Join Sir Ian and Amanda to hear a powerful story from the voice of a successful Black woman, navigating the search for identity against a backdrop of faith, humanity and hope.
This event was a part of the Science Museum Group’s Open Talk programme, a series of events that aims to share the untold stories of science and encourage an understanding of both the causes and effects of discrimination.
