I Am Light

‘I am Light’ is a cinematic, short, narrative driven vignette video, highlighting the pains and joys of life as a young black woman in the UK. The film was inspired by an essay Belinda Fenty wrote in response to the George Floyd murder. It’s about her experiences growing up as a black child and now as a woman in London. #blm #blacklivesmatter
