The youngest producer on the West End right now is a black woman with one hand and the daughter of Sudanese immigrants. That makes me equally as happy and proud as the fact that it is me. 🚀🎭

Equating diversity in actors and diversity in theatre is a common thing and it really needs to stop. Show me offstage stats too please because we need to be open about and investigate the lack of diversity offstage as well as on! Don’t stop supporting actors just let’s do better?

Since I’m co-producing two shows at the moment I should say it’s nice to credit both co-producers where you can. I really don’t want to seem petty or ungrateful but as a black woman im very used to erasure so it’d be fabulous to avoid that!
Come see Dick Whittington & The Wiz!

On my bus home tonight, I sat next to a lovely older black woman. She pulled out a programme and she’d been to see Get Up Stand Up. Naturally, I asked if she enjoyed it. She loved it, she gushed about the actors, creatives, producers, and audience who danced along... (1/5)

I can’t tell you how many people it takes and how much work you put into sharing news the right way and with the impact you want. It’s so much and it’s a moment for the team and the audience. To spoil that is heartbreaking to see and for what? You get nothing. Disappointing.

A note about theatre chats currently, as a producer trying to change things for the better I'd love if we had more conversations & less "producers are the problem".
