ITV stars Andi Peters and Charlene White reveal how they overcame barriers in a new film about diversity on our TV screens
He said: “I get upset when people don’t believe in themselves. Don’t let the colour of your skin ever hold you back. Don’t let who you are ever hold you back. “I understand the impact of me rocking up on TV news with my hair like this. I understand the impact that can have on black girls up and down the country and I know how empowered they will feel seeing me. It’s never a responsibility that I’ve taken lightly and I’ll continue rustling feathers as a result.”Singh said in the film that she was inspired to become who she is today after an incident early on in her broadcasting career, in which her colleagues failed to report tackle discrimination.
