I’m gonna have to say it. I’ve done a tour with a majority white cast and now a tour with a fully black cast. The DIFFERENCE in how we are treated around this country in pubs, restaurants, shops etc is ASTOUNDING. This country is racist af.

I’ve not really spoken about this publicly before… but the only reason I was able to train at RAM is because I was very kindly supported by Disney. One year on and I’m about to originate a track in a world premiere of a Disney musical… I … ? 🥺🙏🏽💙

When people change their name or pronouns, it can be easy to forget at first - especially if you’re not super close to that person. So this is just a reminder to change their name in ur phone straight away & put their pronouns next to it if you’re worried about forgetting! 💕
