Travelling over from Jamaica as a teenager, Barbara's journey is remarkable. She finds her footing in TV, and blossoms. Covering incredible celebrity stories, investigative pieces and travelling to report festivals - her life sparkles, and it is an enviably phenomenal job. But with the responsibility of being the first black woman reporting on TV comes an enormous amount of pressure, and a flood of hateful letters and complaints from viewers that eventually costs her the job. In the aftermath of this fallout, she goes through a period of self-discovery that allows her to carve out a new space for herself first in the UK and then back home in Jamaica - one that allows her to embraces and celebrates her black identity, rather than feeling suffocated in her attempts to emulate whiteness and conform to the culture around her.
