My reality is constantly feeling like I have to work 10 times harder and longer to make my case in the group, because my talent alone isn't enough.

My reality was feeling lonely while touring to predominately white countries where I sing to fans who don't see me, don't hear me, don't cheer me on.

We met Prince Harry!

We've done some incredible things!

We're very lucky because our fan base is so dedicated that they want to have a hard copy of our album. They want to own it, have it in their hands.

When we first started, we all had icons: So Perrie had a flower, Jade had a bow-tie, Jesy had a boombox and I had a cap!

I know there are girls of colour out there who have felt the same as me.

I didn't feel like I had as many fans as the other girls. It was a strange feeling. I never thought that it was because I was the darkest member of the band. I felt overlooked. So I did everything to make myself more noticed, convinced I wasn't good enough.

During the first couple of years of being in the band, I did feel invisible. I remember crying to my manager regularly, I just couldn't seem to find my place and didn't know why.

I hope I can help one person and change things, my work will be done.
