Description

The Truetube documentary 'What do you mean I can't change the world?' focuses on Jemmar Sammuels’ experience of colourism. In this episode, Jemmar explains why it was so important to tell her story and how bullying due to dark skin tone affected her education and her mental health. She explains why teachers need to talk about colourism and how her involvement with the Advocacy Academy enabled her to turn her experience in to something positive through activism.
