Hello!
My name is Shemonti Shams. I am a 20 year-old Communication and Media student in Bournemouth University.
I am originally from Bangladesh, but have been living in the UK for the past 11 years. I tend to think of myself as a perfect ‘half split’ because I enjoy a scone just as much as I love a curry. Best of both worlds really.
Being from such different backgrounds, I have noticed a lot of racism – although not upfront – but around me, in the media, and as someone who is so interested in so many social issues (eg. feminism, sexism, racism, equality), I automatically deviated to the topic of racism for this blog.
Now online racism is a very heavy, hurtful topic, so I wanted to put my own spin on it, to inform people on the subjectand (hopefully) help people who are suffering from online racism, and hopefully provide some much needed laughs along the way.
I hope you enjoy reading my posts, and I hope that someone out there was helped by my posts.
Thanks a lot 🙂
Shemonti
