lollipop is a mentoring platform for Black women, providing access to mentors for guidance and support in their careers.
About us
Only 1.4% of managers, directors and senior officials in the UK are Black. Even less are Black women. This is discounting the gender and ethnic pay gap. lollipop strives to create an equal playing field where Black women can thrive and progress. Black women face preconceived bias' on their potential, which often leads to a deficiency of talent spotting and therefore lack of career progression. This can often result in loss of confidence, increased anxiety, burnout or even leaving their jobs in hopes of success in another company or sector - often with the cycle repeating.

The theme of Black History Month 2024 is ‘RECLAIMING THE NARRATIVE ’ 👏🏾🖤💛❤️💚 Let’s talk about how our founder, Maria McDowell is doing this .. Maria has spent over 20 years as a digital delivery consultant. Throughout her career, she’s been dedicated to building, leading, and nurturing teams. But beyond the work itself, her true passion has always been mentoring and supporting others. As a former member of the BIMA mentoring council and Head of Mentorship at Brixton Finishing School , she knows firsthand how transformative having the right mentor can be. "I’ve experienced what it feels like to be overlooked and unsupported, but I’ve also seen how a mentor can change not just your career, but your life." Through lollipop, we are reclaiming the narrative for Black women in the workplace. Our mission is clear: to ensure mid-level Black Women have the guidance and support they need to reach their full potential and that they’re never alone in their journey🍭 We are hosting a mentoring cohort kick-off event on the 19th November, another step towards rewriting the narrative. COME ALONG, TICKET LINK🎟️🔗 https://lnkd.in/ez-RKSAc #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #ReclaimingtheNarrative #lollipopmentoring #cohortkickoff2024 #MentoringWorks #MentoringMatters #BrixtonFinishingSchool

Anyone that’s been part of an agency launch knows how much hard work and organisation goes into the process. Which is to say it’s absolute chaos. You’ll also know that it’s impossible to pull it off without an absolute superstar staying on top of every detail. Which is why we’re so fortunate at #LeSHOP to have Maria McDowell as our Operations Director. Maria has spent nearly two decades directing complex projects for some of the world’s biggest brands. She’s unmatched when it comes to balancing commercial demands with the career paths of the people in her department. She’s also an inspiration to the people around her, both in her work as a culture consultant and as founder of lollipop mentoring CIC – a mentorship initiative for young black women. #creativeagency #brandcommerce #creativecommerce #creativity
