And it meant that we can actually still be here and pay our artists when we get paid and not run our galleries off the artist's money.

And

I heard a beautiful quote where you said, it's not a trend, it's momentum.

Every time you do a Black African show, it is always more successful than the one that came before it.

And that was back in 2020, I think, in W Magazine.

You know, there's just like...

longevity, you know, you're not in it for any trend.

You're just doing this to, you know, support the artist and help them make the work, you know, they need to make.

And I just have so much respect for you because I know you said you didn't have mentors or people that you could necessarily look up to or chat to, but you've become that for other people.

And I know that you having had Marianne Ibrahim as a successful international gallery now will mean that other galleries will follow suit.

So thank you for that.

So our final questions, I wanted to ask you if you could do an imaginary art heist, what artwork would you take?

And I can help you find it.

Yes, I know this painting.

It's got a yellow background and it's by Beaufort Delaney from 1970.

Yeah, amazing.

Another question we ask every guest is what is your favourite colour?

And why green?

You like it in painting or sculpture or art?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
