About this show
Cindy explains where she gets her motivation from, crediting her mother who has tirelessly campaigned for equality her whole adult life. As a child Cindy would accompany her mother in the pursuit of justice and learnt to be strong and unwavering in the fight for what was right.
Her career is incredible and she shares how at times it has been hard to live up to the roles she has found herself in, though a deep sense of self–belief and a sense of responsibility has carried her through.
We discuss Black Lives Matter and how the recent awareness drive needs to be more than that, it needs to be a catalyst for real and lasting change in which we all have a part to play.
An informative and inspiring half hour.
