Njambi McGrath: Becoming Njambi

Be Like The British

Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

Available for years

Kenyan-born comedian Njambi McGrath goes on a challenging journey of self-discovery, as she traces the roots of her upbringing and the British influences that shaped her life.

In this episode, Njambi recounts her innocence in childhood growing up in Thogoto. The normalisation and promotion of British values under colonisation left an indelible mark on Njambi's father's - and subsequently her own - perception of the world. Fantastic comedic insight into growing up in a country that is coming out of the honeymoon of independence.
