In this episode I talk to the incredible Seyi Akiwowo who set up Glitch to tackle online abuse and promote digital citizenship after she was the recipient of racism and gender based violence online when a speech that she gave at the UN Human Rights Council went viral. We talk about holding Tech companies accountable for the abuse that occurs on their platforms, digital self care, championing our online communities, empowering women, especially BIPOC, to get involved in activism and politics and how we all have a responsibility to make our online spaces safe and inclusive. During a time of unprecedented online activism, we need to know how champion these causes and engage in debate, but not at the expense of our mental health. Seyi has recently launched a petition ‘Black Lives Matter Online Too’ ( which has already been backed by the likes of Jameela Jamil and Emma Watson) to ensure that social media platforms provide sensitivity warnings for content showing violence against black people. Seyi says that going forward that the self care of our communities’ needs to be at the centre of our activism.
