Meeting Val - by Mbeke Waseme
In this deeply moving and personal episode, Tash visits Val (Mike’s mother) for an interview that unexpectedly turns into a rich, multi-generational story of migration, resilience, and love. From Val's early days as an Irish nurse newly arrived in London to her life in Wandsworth today, we uncover a vibrant oral history shaped by prejudice, perseverance, and community spirit. A tender, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking conversation that reveals the true meaning of home.
