Afua Hirsch: My afro was “too big” for TV news
In this conversation activist, writer and broadcaster @afuahirsch opens up about making sense of her dual-heritage identity, and how by challenging western beauty standards she has reconnected with her own body, beauty ideals, and culture. Afua also discusses her experiences as a TV news reporter; being told her afro was too big for TV, and that racism doesn’t exist by a panel of white people.
Through her activism and writing, Afua has helped countless people to understand and articulate the black-British experience. She is a true inspiration and a force to be reckoned with!
