Judi Love stresses importance of ‘white allies’ when talking about racism

Judi Love has voiced the importance of ‘white allies’ uplifting Black voices amid the hardships faced by the community.

The Loose Women panelist, 42, fronts an eye-opening documentary titled Black, Female and Invisible, which investigates how the ‘odds are stacked against’ Black women in everyday life, from education, to health, to work.

Speaking about the importance of the emotional film, the comedian highlighted the stats that Black girls are more likely to be excluded at school, Black women are more likely to receive a higher prison sentence for a crime, and four times more likely to die during childbirth.

Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant shared how much the documentary meant to her, adding that talking about race shouldn’t be something we fear.

‘I have a background in social work and social care, so I’ve got that natural ability to have empathy with people and have a conversation where I can draw information out,’ she began, talking about her passion for the documentary.
