I’m excited to share that this year I have been accredited as a press delegate at the 70th BFI London Film Festival.

I’m most looking forward to reporting back on:
🎞️ The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives
🎞️ Prima Facie
🎞️ Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother

And discovering films and talent that I am not so familiar with too!

Be sure to keep an eye out for all the up coming content 🫶🏾🎥📸📺

“I’d be a tree in the background if I really needed to.”

Lashana Lynch on what it means to be in a film like this. Full Black cast, Black filmmaker, Black heads of department. A room where you’re respected before you even walk in, and where your vision gets protected alongside the director’s.

She told me that when stories like this get made, we have to show up for them. Loudly.

I didn’t get to ask her blood or bone.

What do we think? 👀

Kola Bodunde is one to watch 👀

He’s new to the big screen, and his excitement was contagious. He told me being in a room full of legends is something he’ll cherish forever, and it’s made him want to keep telling stories that inspire our people.

His biggest lesson from set? Don’t be fearful, because overcoming your fears is how you get better.

And blood or bone? His character picks bone. Every time.

Remember the name. @kolabodunde

“I felt magic.”

I asked Zackary Momoh what it was like being part of Children of Blood and Bone, and this is what he had to say.

He spoke about how rare it is to see Black stories told on this scale, where we get to be the heroes and the villains.

He said the film is huge, but it still takes time over the smaller moments too, like grief, and like feeling you’re not enough when your people need you to be strong.

Then I asked him the big one: Blood or Bone?

He said you need both.

And I hear it!

A wholesome chat with the woman tasked with bringing Orïsha to the screen.

Gina Prince-Bythewood on protecting the book, on Tomi Adeyemi, and on handling a cast that big — which she says wasn’t hard, because they had either worked together before or had wanted to work together for a while.

Then I made her choose: blood or bone. Soft approach, or ready to fight. She says she carries both.

And I believe her!

Thank you @s.o.u.l.fest @americanblackfilmfestival #soulfest and #ABFFLondon

First and foremost my deepest condolences to the Arday and Wilson-Kotey family for this unimaginable loss. Jason was a son, brother, cousin, father, friend. His talents and resilience earned him a spot in the highest of academia in a land and institution set up to destroy him.

@temtalks and I spoke about the witch hunt two weeks ago without the slightest idea that this will lead to his untimely death.

The British media and the racist journalist/academics who stopped at nothing to tear him down have serious questions to answer for their disproportional agenda.

For now we mourn the loss of a brilliant mind who fought for the black British dream — just to be.

Rest in eternal peace, Jason. 🕊️ by @temtalks

Dear Kaffy – ★★★★★ review
By @bolanleaustenpeters
📍 Shaw Theatre London, until 9 August 2026

“Funny, thoughtful, occasionally painful, and most importantly it’s universal. Take your girls, take your parents, take a date”

Between my sister’s wedding and watching my faves play in the World Cup, I couldn’t be more happy!

Thank you @themakeoverchic_ for being my wonderwall at the mid night hour and turning it all around…

I was this close 👌🏾to showing up to my bridesmaids duty looking like the last slide!!! When I say, this makeup lasted the whole day 👀

I know I look cute or whatever, but this was definitely just an excuse to use the stadium anthem as my sound ⚽️ by @temtalks
