Im glad she addressed not just racism but, colourism as well and actually wanted to learn from others and become educated about matters. Also glad she spoke to Andre upfront about racist tweets and as opposed to forgetting it being 8 yrs ago.
It makes me so happy that instead of ignoring Andre s past tweets. Leigh Anne called him out for his past colourism and they discussed together how wrong it was. It s so important to have these discussions with friends or family that have made racist comments!

Little Mix s Leigh-Anne Pinnock has been making a documentary for more than a year about her experience as the only black member of her band. In the film, she speaks to other people - including fellow musicians - about racism in the music industry. I spoke to her in a quiet studio in East London.
