International Women’s Day – A short film shining a light on black creatives

Happy International Women’s Day to you all. And Happy Women’s History Month!

To celebrate, my platform SceneTV teamed up Black Women Off Screen to shine a light on three black women making their mark in the creative industries. In a year where the theme is #BalanceforBetter, this short film aims to make sure black women in Britain also have their voices and stories heard as part of this global annual event. The short film features:

Dalia Dias, a Creative Director, Filmmaker and Photographer in the music and fashion industry. She has worked with well-known brands and international music acts such as Chris Brown, Stormzy, Wizkid, Davido, Cardi B and more. (IG: @DaliaDias)

Christina Okorocha, one of three founders of VAMP, a social marketing agency representing the underrepresented, with a particular focus on women of colour in beauty, lifestyle and entertainment. Past projects have included the UK premiere of Marvel’s Black Panther, Girls Trip and A Wrinkle in Time. (IG: @christinaok)

Genista Tate-Alexander, a Marketing Manager at Bloomsbury Publishing. Her notable campaign include Reni Eddo-Lodge’s bestselling Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race, Lost Connections by Johann Hari and Bone by Yrsa Daley-Ward. (IG: @geninldn)
