“You may be born poor but you don’t have to stay poor. You don’t have to live without power and without hope. You don’t have to set limits on your talent and your ambition — or those of your children”

David Oyelowo
Actor, speaking at an event launching a report from the Creative Industries Federation and backed by MOBO

“I was watching TV in the UK and thinking there were very few examples of actors who look like me who I aspired to be like, aspired to have their careers. In order to have those feelings I had to look to the States.”

Ed Vaizey
Minister of State for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries on diversity in the creative industries

“I know from my engagement with this agenda that there are a lot of fed up people who feel that a lot of talk has happened over the last 30 years and we now really want to see progress. I want to see progress as well and my pledge to people in the industry is to continue to hold all the main organisations to account so we can see a real difference
being made.”
