BLM Watchlist
In the same way that you 'vote with your wallet', the cultural and creative choices you make can be a powerful form of activism. Last year I composed a watchlist of films and TV I love from Black creatives, and it has been sat in my google docs doing fuck all since then. To close off my blog I decided to put it here, and add to it gradually with creatives of colour who inspire me. I hope it gives you something to watch, and I hope it leads you to some new, marginalised creatives that deserve your time and attention.
