Khadija Saye: The Artist Who Tragically Died In Grenfell Tower

Ойын-сауық

    @Irene Davo Why do you keep asking this? What do you think? Have you ever been on the 20th floor of a building on fire? Do you realise this video is about a human being who died and that the people who mourn her are coming here to watch and celebrate her life? Have you ever lost anyone you love? There are many better questions than the one you keep asking.

    Rosco Pico I don't think you fully understand how this tragedy happened. The cause of their deaths were cos of cheap cladding that caught fire around the building and many people were trapped. This all could've been avoided had the council not put them up or removed them hence it's there fault. That's why there's an enquiry going on.

    Rosco Pico can't believe you just said that you're so cold. Regardless if 'they' travelled around Europe you shouldn't generalise each and every person there that night. Some could've been genuine and it's not your call to judge who was and who deserves it. These poor souls lost everything including their lives and your here making judgement. You should be ashamed. Hopefully now they can rest in peace and the councils and those responsible should soon be held accountable.

    Rosco Pico the very "engine" of this great country is the people and places the government doesn't make it great. If it does then that's your opinion and not everybody agrees. However when I was referring to greedy councils and government agencies it was because of the cheap cladding they put up that had caused the fire and there were over 40 other tower buildings across the countries including hospitals with the same fire risks. They were responsible for their deaths and they should be called greedy and much more. If you don't agree then that's up to u.

    This is a truly beautiful piece of footage that needs to be shared. Khadija Saye - A tender-hearted lady who will continue to inspire through her work and through this delightful little film. I passed the tower on the tube (Latimer Road) last night. I am so angry for what these innocent people endured. Shame on all those involved in such horrific consequences of social neglect. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the courageous residents of Grenfell Tower. Never to be forgotten. Such bravery in horrific circumstances. Another government cover-up, and still no rehousing for the majority of the tower's homeless. May God have mercy on the earthly powers that be. They sure do need it. .x.

    She was my distant cousin. My mom & grandma we’re so upset. I’ve only met her twice ( I live in the USA). Even though I was not close, it’s hard watching this. Normally I watch this during the anniversary but I felt like looking at it. I’m an artist too (drama/film) but to see her almost reach her dream and then just leave. It hurts so damn bad. I know we weren’t close but I’m so inspired by you Khadijah. I love you. ❤️

    No doubt a more than fitting tribute to an individual whose life was full of promise : only to get cut short by tragic events - sincerest of condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of Ms Khadija Saye. Massive kudos to those who made the interlude to a life that is likely to have an influence on Ms Saye's contemporaries.
