WHAT’S ON YOUR WRAPPED 2025?
It has been a blast to work on this!!! So grateful for my @curlymedialtd family for giving me the chance to develop and write on this project and pushing me to develop new skills and supporting me through my person trials.🩷
Shout out to @mikexv_ for welcoming me onto the production team and to the girles for looking after me and showing me the ropes, adore you guys.

WE ARE GRIP ❤️🔥
Together we form a creative collective comprised of 4 talented Black British women.
2 from Africa,
2 from the Caribbean,
2 from East London,
2 from South-East London,
It’s often women like us are told no, your dreams are too big, you’re not ready for that etc…
But F that.
GRIP challenges the status quo and pushes the boundaries that are set out to box people in. We’re loud and proud, compiling both our unique and similar experiences into captivating stories ready to make our mark on the industry. And quite frankly strength in numbers couldn’t be anymore true ✊🏾
This is just the beginning…
#GRIP #IREPTGC 🖤
Throwback to one of my favourite projects last year with @ashleywalters and Sekou Diaby. Shout out @curlymedialtd for this one
When I listened to Ashley’s audiobook, it reinstated everything I already believed about the journey I am on. Ashley’s story doesn’t glamourise the grind, it breaks down the reality of what it takes to chase your dreams at all costs.
Being able to produce this format, where he speaks to Sekou, an actor on a similar journey, is what we as a culture need to do more of. We have a duty not only to pave the way for those coming after us, but to teach and share the trials and tribulations along the way.
The book made me reframe my thinking. Even when you lose, you are winning. 🏆
PS. Ashley called me a director. 🤏🏾 I have imposter syndrome because so many people have tried to put me in a box, but day by day I mash up the box.
Shout out @mollanaburke , @bobby_dop and @courtneypage_ it looked so beautiful 🙌🏾

This year I’ve had to learn how to be alone. To sit with my thoughts without running from them.
It used to scare me. I used to hate it.
Now I’m finally at peace with it.
And somewhere in that… I changed.
13kg down since August.
Couldn’t have done any of this without the girls in my life. 🩷
