Monday, 16 February, 2026
This week, we are talking di tings with BAFTA Award-winning Actor, Director, Producer, and Writer, Adjani Salmon.In this episode, we explore ambition, belonging, Jamaican identity, and the realities of navigating the global film and television industry as a Caribbean creative. From his early days experimenting with filmmaking in Jamaica to building an internationally recognized series that blends humor and cultural commentary, Adjani provides insight on the evolution from Season One of "Dreaming Whilst Black", stating that "Season One was the glass ceiling, while Season Two’s is the glass cliff."He shares how storytelling shaped his worldview, and why preserving humanity in art matters more than ever, the economics of filmmaking, what it means to build authentic Jamaican narratives that resonate globally, and a hilarious story about his favourite memory from prep school. We explore his journey from early storytelling to global stages, the responsibility of representing Caribbean narratives with care, and the importance of staying rooted while evolving. This is not a conversation about overnight success, it’s about endurance, intention, and honoring the work even when no one is watching. So grab your tea, coffee, or a glass of wine, and let’s talk di tings!Remember to mark your calendars for the U.S. Premiere of Dreaming Whilst Black Season 2, available on Showtime or Paramount Plus!
