BAFTA-winning actor, writer, and director Adjani Salmon joins Mo Gilligan to share his journey from studying architecture to becoming the creative force behind Dreaming Whilst Black. Raised in Jamaica and returning to London at 18, Adjani reflects on cultural shifts, film school lessons, and the hustle of self-funding his web series that grew into one of the UK’s most acclaimed shows. He opens up about pressure, persistence, navigating the industry post-Black Lives Matter, and even making it onto Doctor Who. A conversation full of honesty, humour, and inspiration about carving your own lane in the creative world.
