Saturday night was a special occasion for Black film, fashion and entertainment industries around the UK.

The 3rd annual BEFFTA Awards were held at the funky Light House in south London. The red carpet swarmed with actors, singers and designers who have been gaining success and recognition across the board and were there to celebrate the grand showcase of amazing talent.

The vibrant event was buzzing with positive energy and certainly lived up to its title of ‘Europe’s biggest African award show’ as I noticed the venue was almost packed to capacity.
