WATCH: A powerful message from a Louth teenager talking about the racism she receives daily

This abuse includes being called “Gorilla” and a “Monkey” on daily basis, as well as being told to “go back to your country”.

Meet Joella Dhlamini, a 16-year-old girl from Drogheda who today has given Leo Varadkar a graphic account of the everyday racism she experiences in Ireland.

The teenager, who was born in South Africa, entered a competition run by UNICEF to describe the one change for children she would like to see.
