An interview with Nwora Emenike, Advertising Association

Joanne Oatts chats to Nwora Emenike - part of Outvertising's Intersectionality team and Commercial Executive at the Advertising Association. We look at how the media portrays the black LGBTQ+ community, and the lack of visibility and positive representation. Nwora talks about coming out to his Nigerian parents, his teenage years in Leeds, uni life in Liverpool and issues LGBTQ+ people of colour face in Britain today - from prejudice from within their own communities, to gaslighting and racism on dating apps. Plus why you should be watching 'Pose' right now.
