Flicking the channels aimlessly I came across a documentary on OHTV (Sky channel 199) that I thought was quite compelling. A topic that has been seen many debates, ‘Black Women: In the Media‘ explores the careers of 10 formidable black women breaking the boundaries within the media industry. The three part piece features the likes of award-winning author Malorie Blackman, BBC and OH TV Producer Michelle Brooks, ITN Journalist Charlene White, CEO of LGN Yolande Letshou and so many more successful women sharing their experiences, highs and lows throughout their journey. More after the cut.

It’s hard to keep motivated when you want to do something and you don’t have anyone who you can relate to as a role model, at this point some people give up. This documentary is about determination, hard work, perseverance and where they can take you if you apply them to your life. I love hearing people speak so passionately about what they do and how they’ve gotten there, it drives me to work even harder and it’s inspiring for young people who need to see living proof that they can also make something of themselves and especially in this case: young black girls.
Check out the website for more information on the doc; also keep an eye on the TV Channel (199) as they will be airing re-runs.

There are so many young people in London without the right guidance in life and don’t know where to turn. My dream is to set up my own company lending support, guidance and advice to young people so I can share everything I have learnt and will learn in the future with people who need it. Anyone sharing a similar vision get at me, we need to talk. Follow me on twitter
