We are so excited to share the trailer for #AestheticaAlumnus @jessiola's 'Dawta,' debuting on 4 June. 'Dawta' takes us on a time-travelling journey to imagine better futures for the Black diaspora, accompanied by live music from Jessica and Bimpe Alliu. #DawtaFilm

@ASFFest 🙏🏽 thankyou for sharing!

A few years ago I made a big ol’ project - a short animation, AV performance and EP called Dawta. On June 4th it’s finally going to be online. Can’t wait to share it with you all! 🥰💞

@CardiffAnimFest have kindly put the screening and Q&A of Dawta to watch online until the 24th. Get over there to here me and @AnimateProjects talk about the many tentacles of this project of mine!

“This is a mix of stuff that has happened in my family. There’s a lot of trauma. In the first performance, I was performing my family’s trauma – I needed to change it, it was too much.” @jessiola

We really are the control freaks 🤣 thanks so much for having me @CardiffAnimFest 🥰💖

@Stephanopolus 😭😂

@Stephanopolus I woke up unusually early today which I think was me sensing the drama on the internet 🤣
