chance to succeed regardless of the colour of their skin. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
All this week on Newsround we're the looking at aspirations - | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
the goals and dreams we have for the future. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Our Newsround survey showed one in five black children feel that | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
their skin colour could have a negative effect when it comes to | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
So I went to discuss this with two talented and successful people who | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
didn't let anything stand in the way of them achieving their ambitions - | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
singer Alesha Dixon and former England footballer Sol Campbell. | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
Alesha Dixon has made her mark, first in music, then as a judge | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Now you'll probably know her from Britain's Got talent | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
And this is Sol Campbell, the former Tottenham, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
They're both from black backgrounds, both very well-known, | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
and both say they worked hard to get where they are today. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
In our Newsround survey, two of the more popular job choices | :01:17. | :01:19. | |

footballers and in football your background doesn't come into it. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |

Alesha Dixon started her career in the music industry before becoming | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
But being well known can have a down side, | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
and Alesha feels she was treated unfairly by some people in the media | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
I think being a woman of colour made me a very easy target | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
But I knew that by staying true to who I am, knowing | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
that I can do the job, keeping my head up, being a positive person, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Alesha and Sol say things need to change. | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
I want people to be sitting at home, watching television | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
I think it is very important to look at the United Kingdom | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
as multicultural and make sure that across all forms of media that we | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
You want to feel like you're part of this country and sometimes | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
I think the more we talk about it in a positive way and honest way, | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
I think people will start to slowly see and believe that it will change | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
And having heard about the results from the survey, | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
Alesha and Sol say they want children from all backgrounds to | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
feel confident they have role models to look up to and the opportunities | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
