Pls take two minutes to listen to her entire response not just the one sentence highlighted in the caption. She lays it out PERFECTLY.
"I'll first say a big shout out to Mike and Delroy, like let's continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team, everybody that was out there, like really carried themselves well. I think the events this weekend exposed a couple things - Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means."
"Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation."
"That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That's the BAFTA's fault. And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless."
"And not like some haphazard accident, no, like a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men. And we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, right, because they censored a bunch of other... they went so far as to make sure certain things weren't topics of conversation."
"They censored Akinola's speech, the director of My Father's Shadow, which is an amazing film, by the way. So you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah, you do not care for our dignity, our humanity."
"You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect, and that's why we celebrate sinners. That's why we celebrate Ryan. That's why we show up to the NAACP, because those are spaces where we felt safe, where we feel safe."

A lifetime artist. An actor who’s given everything to cinema. 73 years in, Delroy Lindo is now an #Oscar nominee. Do you know why this nomination means so much to so many people? Because Lindo did it the right way. He’s been real from the start. This matters a lot. Cinema lives.
Crush by Hadsan Mohamud
A clinic waiting room. Two Somali teens. One awkward meet-cute. Najma has been in treatment for years. Zakariya’s just starting out. She sketches. He writes poems. Neither of them is ready to talk. Until they meet each other.

Just Mercy tells the story of Bryan Stevenson, played by Michael B. Jordan, who is a Harvard law school graduate that moved to Alabama to defend wrongly condemned African Americans. 2019 was a great year for film- this is one reason why. Every person on Earth should see this.
Our Somali romantic drama CRUSH is coming to @sohotheatre, London (Feb 2026) and sold out in 2 HOURS! 🔥🎭
Now we’re raising £5k to power the production.

The local CBS station in the Twin Cities reviewed security footage from one of the day cares on the day Nick Shirley visited.
It shows “families evidently arriving to drop off their children earlier that morning and later in the afternoon.” https://t.co/WWF3R1aO2u
The Prince of Egypt (1998) is a masterpiece that still doesn’t get its due. DreamWorks pushed hand-drawn animation to its limit, over 900 artists across 34 departments built those sweeping, painterly visuals. A genuine animated epic hiding in plain sight.
Proud of everyone involved in this , especially Suher , our stories captured beautifully. Remembering and honouring our past , and looking forward to the future. #Somaliland you have many many talented people.
Thank you @RichMixLondon and @KaydSomaliArts and @TowerHamletsNow
Allahumma bariik. Really enjoyed the documentary Untold Stories. What an incredibly talented sister. Their stories resonated with me deeply as someone whose dad was a seaman. The way she brought the experiences of #Somalilanders in Tower Hamlets to light was powerful and moving.
A documentary every Londoner should see!
