We decided to start this campaign as we have long been admirers of what Akua Gyamfi and her team at the British Blacklist have accomplished. For well over a decade TBB have been tirelessly campaigning for black creatives to be seen. An initiative that was born out of love and frustration, to help other film and television creatives be recognised and share their stories and voices unapologetically.

We were at the glamourous launch event hosted in 2021, which was an amazing affair as it brought so many of us black British creatives together, a feat that many have tried but few have executed. Though Akua and The British Blacklist team did it with grace, style and elegance.

We were saddened to read about the ordeal which followed the launch event was anything but graceful.

Not too many people in our industry embody the spirit of togetherness and unity, like Akua and the British Blacklist do and it’s now time to rally the village together in support of their cause and help rebuild efforts after this traumatic episode.

Please join us in donating whatever you can and all proceeds will be given directly to TBB and Akua with love.
