Community calls for more media coverage over Mariam Kallon, 13, as teenager is still missing after a week by LeahMahon_
COMMUNITY LEADERS have called for more media attention to be brought to the case of a black teenage girl that has been missing for over a week.
However, community members have slammed the lack of mainstream coverage given to the case of Mariama, while the missing person case of Nicola Bulley has dominated the news with regular updates from the police.Ngozi Fulani, the Chief Executive of Sistah Space, toldthat it is often left up to community members to galvanise attention when black people go missing.
Mariama was spotted for the first time on the morning of Friday 10 February in Markham Street, Southwark wearing a black top and blue trousers. Dominic Norton, founder of Missing Black People, believes that though nuisance is important in every missing person case, he says the community members need to work together to draw more attention when black people vanish.
