Afua Hirsch: My Afro Was “Too Big” For TV News
Afua Hirsch is an activist, writer, broadcaster, and an incredible storyteller who exudes inspiration. Her ability to express herself with diplomacy while never compromising on her convictions is seriously impressive, so I was thrilled to invite her round for a chat! In this conversation, Afua opens up about making sense of her dual-heritage identity, and how challenging western beauty standards has helped her to reconnect with her own body, beauty ideals, and culture. Afua also discusses her experiences as a TV news reporter; from being told her afro was too big for TV, to hearing that racism doesn’t exist from an all-white panel, and why she’ll never seek approval from industry gatekeepers. 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! #AFUAHIRSCH #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Magda Cassidy Edit Producer: Pippa Brown Editor: Shane O'Byrne Video: Jake Ji & Grisha Nikolsky Video Editor: Josh Bennett Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Marketing: Eleanore Bamber Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Senior Exec Producer: Holly Newson Hosted on Acast.
