I received my first hate messages online for being in an interracial relationship. I reported this to Instagram and to the police who have done nothing about it and advised me to block/ignore the user. Out of frustration and disappointment, I decided to change my podcast schedule around and speak about what had happened in this episode. Hate crime on ESEA has increased by 300% in the UK since the coronavirus and we need to speak out about it and encourage organisations such as Facebook (who own Instagram), the police and the government to make changes. Please check out these pages if you want more information and/or would like to support the ESEA community.
