Hello! Just a quick video today to set the record straight about my recent segment on ITV Anglia about afro hair discrimination.
For context, I was contacted to feature in a segment about this topic & I was told of the narrative! I responded by telling them that my personal story is actually the opposite of this narrative, my hair was fetishised and I was led to believe it was the ONLY reason I would secure work for myself.
The narrative that ITV Anglia wanted to portray was the opposite (which I was aware of). I wrongly assumed they would show this side of the coin as an alternate but common form of discrimination. Instead, they edited my interview to fit their narrative.
I shaved my hair to shed the trauma that I associated with it and I thought without my hair I would lose out on work & the fact that they presented me saying the exact opposite of this is why I had to make this video.
Thanks for watching!
