The one where your friends are like family
Emma and Nicole speak to Lizzy Kirk, who was adopted at a young age to a white family and grew up in small village in Nottinghamshire. Feeling like the ‘odd one out’ most of her life, she discovered at 40-years-old that her close friends she had for years are actually her sisters.
They discuss growing up in majority white spaces, what happens when you don’t feel knowledgeable enough about Black culture, and how often mixed people worry about how other people will feel about their identities.
