What does colourism truly mean?

Tan France joins Audrey Indome and a special panel to discuss colourism, skin bleaching and how the shade of their skin has affected them.

Content creator’s Hemah K and Princess Shodipo, Model Sheerah Ravindren and Actor Gracie OddieJames are opinionated but truthful, bringing laughter as well as tears as they tell their own personal journeys of dealing with colourism.

Starting off with discussing Tan France’s documentary, titled ‘Tan France: Beauty & The Bleach’ which is on BBC iPlayer, Tan sheds light on his reason for producing it and the importance of getting the message across.

The panel go on to explore their own personal journeys through colourism and acceptance, how it has infiltrated its way through pop culture, TV and film, how it can affect people financially, and their own cultural identities.
