What does it take to be a writer if you are a black woman in Britain?
Media & entertainment can feel like a lonely world if you are black, female & British. The British Journalism Industry is 55% male & 94% white according to City University. Black people make up just 0.2% of British journalism, making us 15x unrepresented in media when compared to the overall UK population statistics.
