Adjoa Andoh on lighting black actors

Adjoa Andoh, known for her role as Lady Danbury in Netflix's 'Bridgerton', has expressed her frustration over the persistent issue of inadequate lighting for Black actors on set. Despite the show's acclaim for its diverse casting, Andoh claims that little has changed regarding the treatment of Black actors, stating that she often feels the need to advocate for proper lighting. During a recent podcast appearance, she shared that while there has been some improvement, addressing these issues is exhausting and distracting from her performance. Andoh emphasized her desire to focus solely on her craft without having to confront production teams about these concerns. She articulated that the struggle for better representation and treatment should not overshadow her work as an actress. As 'Bridgerton' progresses into its next season, the conversation around diversity and representation in the industry continues to be crucial.
