Late Night Woman's Hour: Leaving Home

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Both Lauren's guests this month left home at fifteen. Aida Edemariam left her home in Addis Ababa after winning a scholarship to a British boarding school and Sali Hughes left Wales to come to London, seeking a career in the media. Here, they talk about the dangers and determination involved in turning your back on where you come from, and the ways they've reconnected with home in later life.
