Farzana Nayani

Farzana Nayani joins me on the podcast to discuss the release of her book, Being All Of Me. We talk about the structure of the book, that being part storytelling, part instructional resource for parents and teachers to actively engage the thoughts and perspectives of children that view the world and themselves through multiple identities. The book is also wonderfully illustrated by Amanda V. Coronel, and was produced with the Multiracial Americans of Southern California

Farzana is a trusted diversity and inclusion professional. She develops programs to spearhead new, sustainable initiatives that engage the public. Farzana currently serves on the board of Sietar USA (Society for Intercultural Education Training and Research)

During the episode, we touch on the public response to this YouTube video, which shows a BBC interview with Professor Robert Kelly where he was interrupted by the appearance of his children. We would love to hear your thoughts below.
