Kamal Al-Solaylee on the meaning of 'brown'

When Kamal Al-Solaylee was nine, he began to take notice of the colour of his skin. And these experiences shaped his new book, 'Brown,' which explores the nuances of skin colour.

Your skin colour can shape who you are and how you relate to the world around you.

Award-winning author Kamal Al-Solaylee reflects on the incredibly complex world of what it means to be brown. His own experiences springboard the discussion in his latest book, Brown: What Being Brown In the World Today Means (To Everyone).
