While it’s is clearly ridiculous for anyone to be abusive when rejected, it’s equally ridiculous for @bbcwritersroom to seemingly ignore the biases that have been at play for decades in the uk industry, that have caused such frustration and utter distrust in the fairness of these schemes 🤷🏽‍♂️

This looks great! More of this please @channel4tv.bsky.social 4 🖤✊🏽

Congrats to all tonight’s production teams on their BAFTA wins. It’s been five years since black square summer & the heart felt promises the uk industry made about improving inclusion in those teams. As with every year since, tonight we continue to see the results of that determined commitment 😉

Was just listening to her this afternoon!!! I was lucky enough to work on the ‘Baisden After Dark’ show, renowned for its musical performances and my all time favorite was Angie Stone’s. I still think about it. This is a real shock and a huge loss to the culture. Devastating😞

I can absolutely confirm this and it seems there are more unhappy former & current @Bfi staff than we could ever imagine. The fact that referred to as ‘Ben’s regime’, is v. telling and goes a long way to explain the treatment of both @f_a_q and #AfricanOdyssey. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The more information I receive about the @bfi’s treatment of #AFRICANODYSSEY The more parallels I see to its treatment of Faisal Qureshi. So It feels less like an org proud to ‘stand by their record on supporting Black & GM filmmakers’ & more like one outraged at being challenged on it 🤷🏽‍♂️.

I very, very, very much hope justice is served…

Now this has been announced I can finally say this is my next couple months and 9th year I think 😳🖤✊🏽 @ABFF honors 2025

🖤🖤🖤

I just don’t get why @bfi bothered trying to stall in the first place? It’s utterly exhausting! and does little to repair their shattered reputation or instill any trust in an institution struggling to come to terms with its racism, ableism and classism issues 🤷🏽‍♂️

The truth is it’s not just the British Press that refuse to see the value in Black British talent. The uk film & tv industry has long ignored, sidelined & marginalized us. That’s why so many of us had to go to the states in the first place to find success - it’s systemic!!! 🤷🏽‍♂️
