The theme of this year’s Black History Month is Reclaiming Narratives. We are hosting two webinars to share the experiences of our black friends, colleagues and partners working in the third sector. 📅 Our first session, “Women Leading Change”, will delve into the common challenges faced by black women in business, particularly those in leadership roles. Black women social entrepreneurs are at the forefront of creating social impact, driving innovation, and empowering their communities. We’ll hear from Edith Iheama – Founder of Vanclaron CIC , Victoria Ijeh-Allen – Founder and CEO of Iconic Steps, Lucy Hamlin – Director of Spring Into Action CIC . 📅 The next event, "Overcoming Barriers and Building Sustainable Businesses", will address barriers faced specifically by black social entrepreneurs. We know from our data that black led organisations often out-perform their white counterparts during the start-up stage, only to suffer at trade up or scale up stages. Leading the conversation will be Robin Morgan-Chu, director of partnerships and policy at the School for Social Entrepreneurs and Kunle Olulode MBE, FRSA, RSM, CEO of Voice4Change England.
