Unwrapped - the human behind the profile - Episode 8 - Miranda Cain - “And though she be but little, she is fierce.”
play

11/01/21 • 81 min

We’ve flipped the script with this episode of Unwrapped... the interviewer becomes the interviewee!
Today, our MD, Miranda, speaks candidly about her life experience; being abandoned as a baby, as a child in the care system, being adopted by white folks, growing up in an area where no one looked like her, racism, and the resulting journey of self-discovery and ultimately acceptance, the need to hold herself and others to account as part of the journey of healing, and the life-changing decisions she made, as a result.
It’s a no holds barred episode, including some strong language, but offers real and raw insight into her human experience... which, for anyone who knows her, is nothing less than you’d expect! And also goes to show, it’s never too late...

In this episode, Loti Nambombe shares his remarkable childhood journey; starting life in Angola, moving to Belgium as a small child, then to London, before settling in Manchester, his sadly routine experience of racism, his ongoing journey in regards to his mental health, the responsibility of being a role model, of raising mixed-race children and the honour of being an ambassador for NIKE.
He is without doubt one of the most positive, driven and inspirational people we’ve had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing. He really is a beacon of positivity and light for future generations!
