__'Where are you from?' I'm asked.__

__'The UK,' I reply.__

__'I mean where are you really from?'__

__'Zambia,' I reply.__

These questions are very familiar, especially to those from visible ethnic groups in the UK. It may seem like a simple question, but the assumptions behind it are far more complicated.

As a Black woman born and living in the UK, Amanda Mukwashi finds this question a loaded one, one that is really asking, 'Where am I in relation to you?'

In this thought-provoking memoir, Mukwashi challenges polarizing perceptions and dangerous single narratives and instead celebrates the many pieces that come together to make each individual utterly unique.

__There is more that unites us than there is that divides us. So, maybe ask me who I am instead?__

Amanda Mukwashi is CEO of Christian Aid UK. Born in the UK and of Zambian heritage, Amanda has had a career in international development. She has a Master's degree in International Economic Law and a Bachelor of Laws degree, and is married with two children.
