Clara Amfo on speaking her truth.

‍

In Changes this week I am joined by my dear friend Clara Amfo who opens up for the first time publicly about the life-altering event in her childhood that changed her forever. Broadcaster, pop culture aficionado and British ‘it girl’ Clara Amfo is an unstoppable force when it comes to British tv and radio. She has hosted many of the UK's biggest music and cultural moments, from Glastonbury to the BRIT Awards. But for Clara, living authentically is at the heart of everything she does and earlier this year, after a decade of success on BBC Radio, Clara felt it was time to explore different parts of her professional and personal journey, marking a time of significant change and reflection.

‍

In this episode, Clara spoke to me about something she has never discussed publicly before. She revealed how unpacking her past has helped her to judge herself less, unroot feelings of shame and fight for deeper self love and acceptance. She shared the realities of being a black woman in the spotlight. This was a deeply personal conversation, one that seeks to understand how to own your power and show up as your true self despite all the odds. I thank Clara profusely, for trusting Changes with her story.
