PRODUCER, VIDEOGRAPHER & EDITOR | YAHOO UK

To mark Black History Month 2021, Yahoo UK launched Black & Beautiful in Britain, a four-part video series in collaboration with digital publisher Black Ballad.

Mia worked on this project as both a Producer, Videographer and Video Editor ensuring that Black Ballad's original vision was organically brought to life and accurately represented and spoke to the nuanced experiences of black women in the UK. This project was regionally diverse with the interviewees being based in Derry, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Manchester.
