“A massive thank you to the hitmaker fund for selecting me as one of this years recipients. The fund continues to support talent from all socio economic backgrounds and being from both the black and LGBTQ community it’s essential that up and coming talent from these communities can see themselves being represented. I hope with me being selected it inspires new talent to apply for future funding.” Lei Jennings
