After working in TV, I decided to teach. It’s been one of the best decisions of my life as I’ve had the pleasure in nurturing up & coming talent who are keen to make their mark in TV, film and broadcasting. I’m proud to say, many of them are doing just that. One such talent is @jakehart._ who secured an apprenticeship at BBC Radio London and is now a fabulous fully-fledged freelancer loved by the Beeb. One of those who love @jakehart._ is the one and only @eddienestor . @eddienestor accepted Jake’s recommendation to invite his old teacher (me!) onto the show. Cue my terror. No need for fear, @eddienestor and the wonderful @bbclondon team made me feel so comfortable, I could have turned up with my slippers on! @eddienestor challenged me to a bet. I could return to the show if the following guest, @official_tameka_empson (@bbceastenders , Traitors) remembered me when I was a lowly grunt in TV. Well did I win the bet @eddienestor ? You’ll have to listen to find out. /programmes/m002kblg around 2hrs & 18mins in (me) then 3hrs 55mins (Tameka)

Had the most amazing time @festivaldecannes As expected, every pavement is a paparazzi moment and every walk comes with a shimmy and a sparkle. Even though the packaging appears pretentious, the people are not. Met some high fliers…some movers and shakers…some budding filmmakers and some established players. All were lovely. All wanted to support. All were passionate about film. From Variety to Diversity Thank you @kianna.a.best While enjoying @Variety Global Voices, you told me about @diversencannes , a fantastic event put on by @melhoyes (@BFI Director of Inclusion) and @thebritishblacklist - got to mingle with film folk from Louisiana to London. Thank you Rebecca Hawkes from @elstreestudios for literally being our film fairy godmother during Cannes. You were the host with the most! Gotta give a shout-out to my Cannes crew who together and individually made it magical: @josephbushell @cellezaj @hollyjmiller @jacobutzonkrefeld A special thanks to @mickeyangelov . You live up to your name…you are an angel, but you are also a force to be reckoned with. You brought together a great team for this trip. Prepare for your red carpet debut…it’s coming soon! Look out for Dali from @Lookasidefilms Look out for me at Cannes 2025! #festivaldecannes #filmfestival #cannes24

Can’t believe we’ve had not one, but TWO sold out screenings at BFI Flare. Thank you @BFI and specifically @wemamumma for selecting us and a MASSIVE shoutout to all who bought a ticket to watch our film, The Archive: Queer Nigerians alongside Stories of Our Lives (directed by @jimchuchu ). Stories of Our Lives is an anthology of queer Kenyan films made 10 years ago that is still banned in its home country. Our team is forever grateful for the liberty we’ve had to show our film in countries like: Poland, Holland, Germany, Hawaii, the USA and most amazingly, Nigeria. We never take that for granted.
