Important piece by Georgie Yukiko Donovan @GeorgieInMotion on the lastest TV industry data on diversity. "British East &Southeast Asian (BESEA) creatives remain almost entirely absent from the UK television landscape... And somehow, no one seems alarmed." https://t.co/vEBjQ5fODQ

Powerful speech by @LennyHenry on the global attack on EDI. In 2020 you couldn’t leave your house without tripping over someone claiming to be an “ally” in the fight against racism. In 2025 Lenny asks for the same allies to stand up when it counts! https://t.co/PfhmShGr8w
