Beauty is feeling all broody, while Karen wants her to use her marketing skills. Stars Jocelyn Jee Esien. From 2012.

Beauty is getting broody after looking after Worship Leader Wayne's kids and Karen in the office wants her to apply her business acumen to flog a 'multimedia aid to living well with dementia'. 

Beauty of Britain is about one woman's progress through a foreign country as she searches for personal fulfilment, a sense of belonging and a pair of Jimmy Choos she can walk to church in.

The outspoken African careworker works for the Featherdown Agency in Stoke.
