In this episode of What Are You Reading Now? we sit down with writer and creative consultant Uju Asika, author of Bringing Up Race and Raising Boys Who Do Better. Uju shares her journey with books and reading, from childhood favourites to the stories that continue to inspire her today.
We talk about her writing process, the power of representation in literature, and how books shape the way we think about parenting, identity, and community. Uju also opens up about balancing creativity with motherhood, her experiences growing up between cultures, and the importance of telling stories that reflect the richness of modern life.
And of course, she answers our final quickfire questions — including what she’s reading now, the book she recommends most often, and the one she wishes she could read again for the first time.
