Incredible work team, well done🥹🖤

the first of many to come 🙂‍↕️

So immensely proud to announce that this glorious project, ‘In The Shadows 75’ has been officially selected and is now premiering on .shorts online streaming platform! 🥹

As this short film is my screen writing debut, I hold it so dearly to my heart & couldn’t be happier to have chosen this story. Inspired by Dupe Okundaye, I gave voice to West African women in migration. Their stories lead the path to where many find indentity today. In Western society, there is always room for amplifying marginalised voices and I’m grateful that I had the chance to with this project.

thank you for trusting me with this one! 🙂‍↕️🙏🏾

And to every single soul embedded in the collaboration of this project, I am so proud of this team and thank you kindly for every moment we spent together creating this!

Available to watch now on Minute Shorts streaming platform!

Here’s to many more, this is just the beginning!✨🖤
