Charlene White on Being Yourself

Charlene is a well-respected news reporter in the UK. On April 9, 2014, White became the first Black woman to present ITV News at Ten. As well as being the lead presenter of ITV News London’s primetime 6 p.m. program, she is also a cast member of ITV’s popular magazine show Loose Women. On being yourself, Charlene says,

“A lot of people will feel that by being themselves, you become the other. You want to become like everybody else so you don’t necessarily stand out, because you know you already stand out because you’re Black. You wouldn’t want to become the loudest person in the room, even if that’s your character, because sometimes the assumption is that you’re loud because you’re Black. You then instinctively become a quieter version of yourself. With me, the more comfortable I became at work, the higher up I got because I was able to be my whole self.”
