"To be completely honest, for the first five years of my career, I felt completely out of place. Especially here in the UK, not so much in America. I really enjoy working in America because I don’t think they see class as much, where I’m kind of overwhelmingly aware of my background when I’m taking meetings with British people. For a long time, people wanted me to be this English rose but I’m not. I’m part Brazilian, half of my identity and half of my culture is Latina – that was never embraced over here. In fact that was something that I was subtly told to hide."
