Last Thursday I attended and exhibited at the BTF®. It was an inspiring experience that showcased the incredible talent within our community. Thank you Seven Jacobs and the Colorintech team for the booth and for organising such a brilliant event. It was a pleasure to exhibit alongside other innovative founders, particularly the impressive women entrepreneurs who are building great products. The opportunity to share ideas and experiences was invaluable. One of the highlights was interacting with the many young black professionals in attendance. Their enthusiasm and potential were truly inspiring. It was heartening to see such a promising crop of talent entering the tech field, even if it meant being affectionately "auntied" a few times! 😊 Jamal Mustapha I had the pleasure of meeting two professionals relocating to Nigeria, including one who's bringing her expertise from a global travel organization to Wakanow. It's exciting to see this transfer of knowledge and experience. The event provided an excellent platform to discuss IMÒ INTERNS talents. The positive responses and engaging conversations reaffirmed the value of our mission in connecting businesses with vetted talent from Africa. BTF® delivered on all fronts: - Thought-provoking sessions and speakers - Networking opportunities that could lead to exciting collaborations -Great Music and Food - A closing keynote by Rapman that was truly inspiring Thank you, Rebecca 🦩 Leppard , the yin to my yang for events and everything else marketing. You are awesome as always. The thing about events is you never know whom you will see, like my BFF Sheryl Nwosu - fancy seeing you here my soon-to-be QC 😊 missed the after-party, though, since I was already auntied. I was true to my middle-aged bones and went home. It was great to meet Chigoziem M., Fidelia Okandze, Crystal Yal, Lawrence Banda, Pius Bozumbil, ROARing Voices, Stephanie Ozuo and many others Thank you Fatimah Ibrahim

Petra Gatto is one of the remarkable women I've had the privilege of meeting this year. As a cancer survivor herself, she is leading a crucial conversation on how to support loved ones, friends, or colleagues dealing with cancer. Cancer touches many of our lives, either directly or through someone we know. Let's join this important discussion by registering to attend the event. #breastcancerawareness

I've just returned from an incredible two-day journey at the Black Women In HR - BWHR Moderating a Panel of HR Superheroes Amanda Rajkumar, Kameka McLean, LLB, BA (Hons), Terry Roberts , Jax U. and @Bukola Bayo-Yusuf MBA MSc CIPD One of the highlights was moderating a panel discussion on  “The Path to Executive Leadership: Elevating Black Talent in HR” “ with senior industry leaders. Their insights were invaluable, and I left feeling motivated to push my own boundaries. A Powerful Reminder: Representation Matters A touching moment came when a BT staff member, unaware of the event's focus, expressed joy at seeing so many Black women in HR roles. It was a poignant reminder of why events like these are crucial. Representation isn't just important; it's transformative. 👏🏾 Tech + HR = Superpower for Good As someone straddling the worlds of HR and tech, I'm more convinced than ever that technology amplifies our ability to make a positive impact in HR. It's not just about efficiency; it's about creating meaningful change. Forever an HR Girl at Heart While I've embraced the tech world, this conference reaffirmed my passion for HR. It's events like these that remind me why I fell in love with this field. It was great to meet Bernadette T. in person Dayo Olomu, Chartered MCIPD, FIIM and,so many others at the event! Thank you Adese O. for creating this incredible platform.
