What this episode covers
As a child, Iheoma Iruka bounced between the United States and Nigeria, struggling to find a place to belong. Today, she is a one of the foremost scholars on race and young children, in particular young Black boys. But she is also a mother to young children. In this episode of In My Skin, we talked about how her childhood informed her view of race and how she balances her role as a parent with that of being an expert on race and young children.
