Born in the 70s to an Irish mother and Pakistani father, I spent much of my childhood wishing I could be “normal”. Why couldn’t our picnics be sandwiches instead of stoves, pots, rice and curry? The curious (and sometimes envious) glances this drew to a reluctant teenager were something to behold. Yet I grew up wrapped in the warm, profanity-laced storytelling and quiet wisdom of my “opposing” cultures — one flag could never represent me.
