Yeah, well, thanks for having me, first of all.

It's not every day you're on the radio on your lunch break.

So very exciting.

It's just been a lot of basically you're not Irish.

I think that's kind of been the general consensus on the socials.

And, you know, a lot of mentions about skin tone, religion and, you know, a lot of people saying, oh, well, she's no Irish heritage.

She's not born here.

And yeah, just along those lines.

I was born in Sligo.

No, I think they kind of just, it is a bit ignorant.

And, you know, they aren't really reading the information.

They're just assuming that, you know, oh, she was born somewhere else.

But I'm like, if you actually read the bio, you'd see I was born in Ireland, born and raised in Ireland, mind you.

Yes.

Like, I'm shocked, but I'm not surprised.

Absolutely.

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

I think as well, it's kind of part of the experience of growing up in Ireland as a person of colour.

So that's why it hasn't really fazed me much because it's nothing I haven't heard before.

I was definitely shocked, but I was more so surprised at the volume of hate that's been coming in.
