Youtube sensation-author-TV and book club host, Lilly Singh has come a long way in her career. Recently, the Indian-Canadian star said that she wants to use her position in highlighting South Asian talent.
At a literary event Lilly said that Hollywood, although taking small steps towards representation, still “really struggles with diversity in true sense”. She further said, “I am definitely getting more into TV and films... So I am definitely going to write (in) longer form, I have over 1,000 scripted sketches on YouTube but that is short form I want to start producing more, directing, and more anything that is loud and destructive, and especially if it highlights South Asian people. I will be very open about my agenda. My agenda is to make sure South Asian people get the credit they deserve because I know so often they do not."
