I had the privilege of directing a short documentary for @itv Digital, produced by the incredible @licklemorproductions . This project, led by the talented @mamayouthproject alumni, highlights the importance of Black British History, a subject that deserves more recognition and conversation. Being part of such a meaningful production has been truly inspiring, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute. It was even more special to experience a private screening at @channel4 ’s cinema, celebrating the hard work of everyone involved. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication, and a special appreciation to Yemisi Bello for hosting us. #Filmmaking #Documentary #BlackBritishHistory #ITVDigital #LicklemorProductions #MamaYouth #Storytelling #Gratitude
