If You Don't Know

The cost of calling out racism


Listen Later

Two black students, Jemima and Elizabeth, tell De-Graft about what happened after they called out a racist incident at their university. The uni did investigate but the women felt things weren’t moving fast enough so they posted the photo at the centre of the story on social media – they were then suspended themselves.

We also hear from a young woman who’s turned to food banks because of the cost of living crisis. Kia Commodore, who founded the Pennies to Pounds platform, also joins us, to share some tips on managing money.

And TikTok star Ehiz opens up about being homeless and how much money he really earns on social media.
