Racial abuse is routine for any person of colour in Britain with any kind of profile. Literally nothing is being done about it.

This note is from my English teacher, Miss Fielden. She taught me for 5 years, believed in me and encouraged me to pursue my passions.
More than a decade on, I’ve written my first book.
