Nylah Abitimo-Jones ‘Black Lives Matter: What it means to be Young, Gifted & Black in 2020’

Seven year old Nylah Abitimo-Jones had a very memorable experience of ‘lockdown’! On 8th June 2020 Nylah performed her poem ‘Black’ in front of over 5000 people at the Black Lives Matter protest in Cheltenham. Inspired by rapper Dave’s song ‘Black’, Nylah’s poem centres around self-love and explores her own experience of being Black with pride. Since then, videos of her performance have been watched across the world by millions, reposted and shared by celebrities like Missy Elliott and platforms like NAACP, NowThis, BBC, Al-Jazeera across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. Nylah performs some of her poetry, including a brand new poem called ‘UG’, a playful celebration of culture – from the food she loves, her Ugandan Acholi ancestry and hair and speaks to Jude about what it means to be young, gifted and black.
