Imani, a mixed race actor & writer, shares her experiences navigating race and otherness as a light-skinned woman. We talk about representation in media, typecasting, how the industry is evolving, what changes Imani would like to see happen, the confusing and complicated aspects of her mixed heritage, struggling with a sense of belonging whilst acknowledging her privilege and the conversations she wishes she could have with her white friends.
