Ify Adenuga Interview

Ify Adenuga has a conversation with Tom about growing up in Nigeria during the Biafran Civil War, moving to Britain, and then taking a risk by retraining at University whilst also working and bringing up her kids. Her efforts to provide a happy and free environment for her children have helped result in enormous success for them: they are the iconic rappers, Skepta and JME, the Apple Music radio presenter, Julie Adenuga and the illustrator, Jason Adenuga. Ify's fascinating new book, Endless Fortune, tells her amazing story.
