  • Kayode Ewumi explains his journey and how he discovered his own courage to pursue his ambitions.
    Whilst in his final year at Coventry University, Kayode decided to create a vine account and start making videos. After graduating from Coventry University in 2015, Kayode and his childhood friend (Tyrell Williams) bought a camera, developed a character from his vine account and decided to shoot a mockumentary.
    With a grand budget of £3, they made two episodes of #HoodDocumentary, released them on TH-cam, and shortly thereafter found themselves with over two million viewers. This attracted BBC Three, who commissioned #HoodDocumentary onto their platform (which is to date the highest viewed series on BBC 3 Online). Since then, Kayode has been busy appearing as a lead in the BBC’s remake of Are You Being Served? shooting White Gold (BBC 2), Crackanory (Dave) and becoming a BAFTABreakthroughBrit of 2016. Kayode is currently developing a few scripts that he can’t wait to share with those who have supported his journey so far!
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I was on Music Composition at the same time as you and worked with Harrison, Aizah, Ayisha and Effe on ‘Thando’ (version of Woyczeck) as our final project. Yours was a work based on Long Way Down and the work of the Samaritans. Your work was shockingly touching and you wouldn’t have known this but Cov Uni was a hard time for me - I just had a lot going on. And your work was very moving and helpful! Thank you Kay! And the work you have done since has been amazing! You are a beast! You were always kind and honest! And I am very happy to see you are smashing it!!!😁👏
