Tell us a bit about Breaking Black.

Breaking Black is an exploration of life as a black British woman living in post Brexit Britain today.


Why is it important for people to see it?

Immigrants are portrayed as a negative drain to the UK economy, coming to change the British way of life. It's important to hear our side of the story. Last month, the rich list reported that 9 of 10 billionaires in the UK are immigrants. They are a valuable backbone to the functionality of the whole of the UK.


What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?

The Fringe is full of similar narrative - its time hear something different.


Who would you recommend comes to see you?

I would love anyone that is interested in open-minded debate and the role of immigration and the benefits it brings to the UK.


What's next for you after the Fringe?

I am hoping my booked will be published and I will begin working on a play in September.

Timings and ticket information for Breaking Black are available on the edfringe website.
