My Biggest Challenge Is That I’m Mixed-Race – Juliet Ibrahim

See what Juliet Ibrahim told Punch when asked about her biggest challenge:

“Sometimes, it is related with my colour.  The fact that I am of a mixed race makes people think that I receive preferential treatment. That is a huge misconception.  There are times my colour is a disadvantage and I cannot get certain roles. They would rather give the role to a dark-skinned actor especially if both parents are dark in the movie. Sometimes, the fair-complexioned actors are cast in the roles of husband snatchers and other bad characters. People don’t know that we go through a lot.  It has been very challenging to get a role that can elevate my talent. However, I am being told now that I am receiving more favours because of my fair complexion. It seems people now have issues with coloured people”
