I didnt think of it like that..I just did it!
Sometimes the reason something hasnt been done before, is because you werent involved? Or is it just actually just a bad idea?
It can be easy to question why someone hasnt done something before, but theres so much more opportunity and excitement when you see it as how can I be the first one to do it. Sometimes - most of the time - its just about doing it!
In this week's episode, Im joined by Akua Gyamfi as we jump feet first into the foundation of The British Blacklist. Akua shares the realities of creating and building something for the Black British community to not only see themselves but celebrate the diversity when it comes to Black Art.
If it aint there, sometimes youve just got to do it yourself
