Hi folks, Today's episode I read out my futureme.org letter that I sent to myself a year ago in July.  It really hit home just how much has changed since then. I was broken, my self-confidence was zero, I had a lot to work on tbh. After a lot of therapy, self-help and just being kind to myself, I now unapologetically identify as a feminist, I continue to learn about racism in our world and have somewhat become an activist in a short space of time.  Sometimes it's cathartic to take stock of ourselves and how far we've come (and a reminder on how far we've got to go). I read out 20 things I wish I could tell my teenage self, it was a lotta fun to pull together. Thank you to listeners who submitted things they would tell their teenage self - it was all very relatable and somewhat emotional to read!   Donate to End the Virus of Racism Crowdfunder to establish the first not for profit organisation for tackling hate crime for ESEA communities: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/endthevirusofracism We've reached 13,500 signatures!
