Our ancestors walk with us

from A to Be

While we believe conversations around mental health are essential, we do issue a suicide trigger warning for this episode. If you or anyone you know is struggling, don't hesitate to get in touch with Lifeline on 13 11 14. If our ancestors walk with us, do we have the power to write our own stories? Co-host of A to Be, Mimi Kwa, explores these questions in her powerful memoir, House of Kwa, and here shares with Jo the fascinating elements of her life that have made her who she is. From the early-childhood trauma of a mother with chronic mental illness, to her father’s court case against her, and stretching back to her great great grandfather in China, the interviewer becomes the interviewed in this vulnerable and moving conversation between two friends.
