About this Event
In honor of Black History Month, Undiscovered Creatives proudly presents Beyond Boundaries, an inspiring event celebrating the achievements and contributions of Black professionals in the creative industry.
Join us on October 19, 2024, in London for a dynamic panel featuring distinguished voices reshaping the creative landscape:
- Koby Adom: A visionary producer, director, and writer, and the founder of DBK Studios. Koby graduated with a Master's Degree from the London Film School in 2017 and achieved significant recognition with his breakthrough short film, Haircut, which screened at the London Film Festival and earned him spots on the 2018 Screen Daily Stars of Tomorrow list and the Broadcast Hotshot list for 2019. He has directed episodes of Top Boy Season 4 for Netflix and the entire Season 2 of Noughts and Crosses for BBC 1, while also executive producing five short films from Black filmmakers through DBK Studios, funded by Sky Studios.
- Rosemary Laryea: A respected producer at BBC Radio 4, Rosemary brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the panel. Her dedication to advancing narratives from underrepresented communities is reflected in her compelling radio content.
- Rachel Bashabe: The founder of Veryldesigns, an African print fashion online store specializing in bold print fashion. Rachel challenges both men and women to embrace confidence through modern, classy, and eye-catching styles. Her work has graced the stages of New York and London Fashion Weeks 2021/22 and has been featured in prestigious outlets such as John Lewis and Partners, Black in Carnaby, and Fantasy Inn Mayfair. Veryldesigns also successfully launched a self-funded pop-up on Oxford Street in 2022/23.
Join us for a day of inspiration and celebration as we honor the trailblazers who are pushing boundaries and redefining the future of creativity!
