However, despite her family&#8217;s academic background, she developed a passion for performing arts, a fact that initially concerned her parents. Nonetheless, her family supported her endeavour to pursue her creative interests in singing classical music and opera and playing the piano. They even moved to another town so that she could attend Redroofs Theatre School in Maidenhead. Later she enrolled herself in the Arts Educational School in London for training in acting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 Hours With Bridgerton&#039;s Simone Ashley | Vogue\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U3-9gjUfLtA?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><b>Using stardom to raise awareness<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While growing up in the UK, Simone was made aware of her dark complexion early on. \u201cI remember people saying certain things that make you really aware of the colour of your skin,\u201d she remarked in an interview. Later, when she started looking for acting opportunities, it led to slower growth in her career compared to other aspiring actors. \u201cBut I never surrendered to it,\u201d she said, highlighting how skin tone-based discrimination affected her career initially.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always inclined towards giving back, as soon as Simone started getting successful, she began putting her stardom to good use by raising awareness about colourism in the industry.
