I’m Rógan Graham, a South London-based writer, film critic, and programmer with a focus on Black and female filmmakers. I curated the upcoming BFI season Black Debutantes (May 2025), which celebrates early works by Black women directors. Since 2019, I have written for Little White Lies, i-D, Curzon Journal, New York Magazine’s The Cut, and Polyester Zine. I also edited the Clio Award-winning The Underground Railroad campaign book for Barry Jenkins and have worked with national film charity Reclaim The Frame as a program producer. Outside of writing and hosting, I’m passionate about discussing pop culture, particularly Mariah Carey, through my Divas Do Film screenings.

I’m a Libra, my favourite film is Heat, I don’t have a go-to karaoke song, I’d always rather be in NYC.
