Speak-easy: Black hair and make-up on set

In 2023 British actors Ann Ogbomo and Cherrelle Skeete co-founded the film and TV-focused campaign Hair and Make-Up Equality Now, a call to action to rectify industry failures to implement culturally competent standards, resulting in countless indignities endured on set by African and Caribbean diaspora performers. In conversation with the directors of the documentary Untold Stories: Hair on Set, Fola Evans-Akingbola and Jordan Pitt, Ogbomo outlines the progress being made on the issue.
