Sacha Brooks: “Diversity is okay, but we need to be included in the conversation.”

Sacha Brooks: “Diversity is okay, but we need to be included in the conversation.”
I found myself smiling from ear to ear in this chat, when Sacha talked about music, music and music being her surroundings during her younger years.
How STUNNING a surrounding to grow up in.
This chat is a rainbow of dynamics, because Sacha is candid about both the good and not so easy parts of her life. I hope people can draw from this - and find energy from her inspirational strength of character.
Sacha is not gonna be told to stay in any lane - for anyone. It’s almost ridiculous that a question in this interview was about if she needed to code-switch, because that just ain’t her. And we love to see it.
There’s some exclusive content in this convo which you won’t hear here - where we chat body types and ALL that good stuff, so keep tuned for when we release that!
But in the meantime, enjoy this conversation - and remember: diversity is nothing without inclusion. I’ll let Sacha explain the rest in this chat.
There are loads of strands here, which one stands out to you? Let me know: I’m @lilliealmond on Twitter and @almondsweetness on Insta.
And as always, thanks for listening x
