Pauline Long, who was born in Kenya, and now lives in England, was recently named along with eleven other women as one of the most powerful and inspirational Black women in Europe.
Pauline Long is the founder of the BEFFTA Awards. BEFFTA celebrates and honours Black and ethnic personalities in the entertainment industry (film, fashion, television and the arts). She is a mentor for many youth in the industry and supports unsigned artists through her award-winning film studio, East End Studios.

The celebration dinner was organized and hosted by media icon and veteran broadcaster Princess Deun Adedoyin-Solarin who said of the entrepreneur and young mother of two, “Pauline Long is a class act lady who is always celebrating people in our community. Today is our opportunity to celebrate her achievements and kindness.”
