Bonus episode 2: Denise Wall on being visible yet invisible in Finland

Is there such as thing as Schrödinger’s immigrant? FTTLG host Denise Wall discusses how she has felt simultaneously invisible yet highly visible as a Caribbean-background resident in Finland. In an extended chat with audio producer Travis Glossop, Wall frankly reveals her motivation for persevering with an unfunded podcast. She also expresses her sense of encouragement at seeing a broad cross section of ordinary Finns unite to push back against the institutionalisation of racism in government.
