Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock Fights Back Tears Talking About Her Experiences With Racism

Leigh-Anne Pinnock is opening up about her experiences as a black woman in the music industry.

The 28-year-old Little Mix singer shared an emotional video, talking about what she has gone through and continues to go through.

“Like many of you, I have been feeling really heavy with everything that we are seeing online and hearing on the news,” Leigh-Anne captioned the video. “In the past I have mentioned some personal experiences that were triggered due to my race. More than ever I felt like it was time that I was completely open and honest with you all because finally, the world is awake and people want to listen, help and understand.”

“I’m not doing this video for sympathy or for you to watch and then go about normal life. I’m doing it because enough is enough and hopefully from sharing this we can all do more to understand the racism that takes place. In doing this we are able to approach the bigger issue and break down systemic racism. All we want is equality and justice for our black community. 🖤,” she added.

Last year, Leigh-Anne opened up about online abuse and fighting back against the trolls.

The week before, Leigh-Anne shared the exciting news that her boyfriend proposed to her!
