*Bonus Episode* On Your Side - The UK's first ESEA Helpline Launches!
Amy spoke to Kimi Jolly (co-founder of ESAS) and Sophia Luu (Design Researcher) about UK’s hostile environment and how it affects asylum seekers, the new hate crime reporting/support service called On Your Side, the importance of design equity in healthcare, our fluid relationships with language, and why ancestry DNA testing isn’t as useful as we think they are (if you’re Black, Brown or Asian). Do remember to visit www.onyoursideuk.org and support their work.
