I am a journalist and filmmaker based in London. I direct and produce documentaries on themes such as race, gentrification and music. I recently directed and produced a documentary for Chelsea FC about being a Black Chelsea fan. It was described as “polished piece of work” by The Athletic and has garnered over 35,000 views. I also write articles on culture for publications such as VICE, Mixmag and GRM Daily. In 2020, I wrote an article for VICE about the effect the pandemic had on politicising me. The article enabled me to find more work in the space, interviewing artists such as BAFTA award winning rapper and presenter, Big Zuu.
