"There’s a never ending cycle of the Black member being treated like shit, but never lose sight of who you are and what you bring.”

It's a tale as old as time: with Spice Girl's Mel B being known as the scary one, to reports of Normani being driven off Twitter at the height of racist abuse during her time in Fifth Harmony. 

Most recently, Manon Bannerman made the choice to take a temporary hiatus from her group Katseye, which reignited conversations about the mistreatment of Black women in girl groups.

Leigh-Anne previously opened up about her experiences with racism in her documentary Leigh-Anne: Race, Pop & Power, and has always been outspoken about putting an end to discrimination in the industry.

This comes after Manon followed both Normani and Leigh-Anne on Instagram – perhaps a hopeful sign that a community full of support is starting to grow.
