Kay Burley of Sky News Emerging As An Unlikely Ally To Black Talent
Friday December 10 2021 Saw The New Director of BUFF (The British Urban Film Festival) Justin Chinyere @jcxappeal Showcase What He’s Made of And His Dedication To Creative Film Talent As He Steered The In- Person Event For The First Time Since Assumin’ The Role Last Year. Frankly He Looked The Part And Appropriately Buff Himself In A Fine Black Suit, Dress Shirt & Dress Shoes. We Caught Up With Him For A Chat To Find Out How He Achieved His New Role And What The Event Means To Him. Listen To Our ‘Pod On A Page’ Right Here.
@Emmanuel Anyiam Osigwe, Founder of @TheBuffAwards Featured In A Sky News Interview With @KayBurley The Week Before Where They Discussed The Upcomin’ Event, His Love of TV & Film, His Love of His Daughters & Also How He May Sometimes Have To Explain To Them How TV & Film References Have Changed In Recent Times Compared To What Was Acceptable Before. Good To See Him There On Mainstream News Media Garnering Support (BritishUrbanFilmFestival.Co.Uk).
Even Though She Is Considered In Some Quarters To Be Sometimes Stern, Controversial, And Marmite-esque, It Is Notable That On Her Breakfast Show (Sky News 7pm – 10pm) She Has Recently Hosted A Number of Guests From The Global Majority Community – TGMC – (Incidentally TGMC Is An Expression Preferred By Diversity & Inclusion Expert Shereen Daniels Who Says The Term BAME Is Comparatively Disempowerin’). Burley Has Come Across As Genuinely Interested And Engaged In What They Have To Say And Willin’ To Learn From Members of The Positive Black Community About The Positive Community. Dame Dick Could Learn A Thing Or Two (…Only If of Course She Was Sufficiently Interested To Do So And Worth Her Salt And Had The Vision To Find It Particularly Helpful)!
This Does Not Negate Burley’s Loaded And Repetitive Comments About Meghan Duchess of Sussex And Her Mother Durin’ Her Coverage of Harry & Meghan’s Weddin’ Day (Particularly As Only A Matter of Days Earlier She Led A 100 Women Campaign Focused On Bein’ Supportive of Strong Women – And Didn’t See Particularly Supportive of Meghan Nor Her Mother On The Day -), But As Far As Post Floyd Change And Inclusion Goes Her Efforts Are Evident And Appreciated At This Critical Time of Transformation In Black British History. Sky Arts Have Been Notably Good Too. Some May Say Politics And Art Don’t Mix. But History Tells Us They Do. For Instance When President Abraham Lincoln Emancipated The Enslaved People Stolen From AfricaFor Free Labour. Shortly Afterwards He Was Asassinated By A Hate Filled White Supremacist, Whilst Watchin’ A Play In A Theatre. Let’s Keep It Real!
