Yasmine Fosu - activist

Yasmine is a world class fencer, one of the leaders of Truro's Black Lives Matter protests and she has helped feed many of Falmouth's homeless people. She's currently studying international politics at Exeter University's Penryn campus.

She talks candidly about the shocking racism she has experienced since moving here and the education campaign she's hoping will help turn the tide on racism in Cornwall.

George Floyd's death made Yasmine think again about what she's prepared to put up with in her own life and has caused her to break off some friendships. She has also launched a petition calling on the National Trust to commemorate the lives of slaves at Tregnwainton Gardens near Penzance
