Jaqs Graham is a Bristol born financial specialist with over 20 years experience in the TV and Film industry. Born into a "blended dysfunctional family of approximately 26 siblings", there's hardly anything she hasn't experienced or been associated with.

She was unlucky enough to go to a school 3 bus rides away in the 70's which taught her "the early lessons on how to circumnavigate the brutalities exhibited from those who didn't take kindly to our family skin colour". Jaq's emigrated to North America in the 80's, but returned to Bristol to pursue her career in TV Film. With over 20 years in the industry, she has seen her fair share of "privilege and bubble mentality".

Jaqs' heart belongs to humanitarian causes and social (in)justice, she is an active member of multiple Guilds, Groups and Authorities. This year she became a vocal member amplified by the BLM movement and has now established her own charity organisation.

Judie Campbell is of Caribbean heritage, born in Newport Wales, she came to Bristol at the age of 4 with her mother and younger sister.

Judie is a mother of three sons and two grandsons who she's very proud of, as "they have shown that with the prejudice amongst us we can all do anything we want to achieve."

She's been working in the NHS for 11 years and has also been a volunteer to Bristol charities, where she found she felt the need to put her energy working with the homeless and mother and baby groups. These roles gave her pleasure and satisfaction, knowing that her time was appreciated in such good causes.

Judie's passions are travel; learning new cultures, the arts; whether it’s in music, dance or photography, being creative and thinking of ways to fix or resolve things is where she finds peace or escapism.

Chané has gone on to do award shows, live tours and be co-choreographer for Channel 4 film 'The Festival" as well as actor and co-choreographer for the show' Anansi' at The Old Vic Theatre.

Chané is also a model and believes "it's important that women that look like us are in spaces of beauty as there are so many beauty standards not being filled", she wants little girls that look like her to see themselves in these spaces.

Sick of the lack of diversity in schools and education Chaneé joined Boomsatsuma Creative college as Creative Outreach Specialist. Here she believes she can make a difference and make sure "our faces are seen and are voices are heard in the education industry".
