​In this podcast we discuss with guests Tura Arutura, Cassie Logan (both activists for BLM) and Sinead Marmion (from Phoenix Law) the PSNI's approach to the BLM protests in Belfast last June. Our guests discuss their experiences of institutional racism in Northern Ireland and how social media plays a key role in educating others about the reality of being black in Northern Ireland. This episode also discusses the importance of representation in the legal field and how the law can be changed to protect minorities in Northern Ireland.
