On the 17th November I attended the official launch of the highly anticipated reality web series Status London, held at Google headquarters in London.
The show, which aims to inspire youth through the positive representation of 8 black entrepreneurs within the entertainment industry, was well received by an audience that featured cast members and a guest list of some of UK’s freshest talent coming out to support the event.
Introduced by executive producer Sade Salami the evening epitomised the power of community and a supportive network with the likes of Hollywood actor Arnold Oceng (The Good Lie), Producer Victor Adebodun (Venus vs Mars), Charles Thompson MBE (Screen Nation Awards) showing love at the screening.
Producer Sade Salami gave an inspirational and heartfelt speech, outlining her entrepreneurial journey and desire to simultaneously inspire and change the perception of black people through the creation of Status London, which she dedicated to her late father.
