British Olympian Tessa Sanderson has revealed she sat down her eight-year-old twins to explain the Black Lives Matter protests because she is aware they may suffer racist abuse in the future.
The sportswoman, 65, adopted brother and sister Cassius and Ruby Mae seven years ago when they were four months old and she was 58.
They are mixed race, with Irish and Jamaican heritage, and were severely ill initially because their parents were drug users. Tessa said she made sure that she explained their ethnicity to them because she is aware people might make cruel comments related to their heritage in the future.
