Black Excellence

The Black Excellence Pop up Fest project was formed by a consortium of 3 businesses owned by 3 black female entrepreneurs: Hazel Chawapiwa of 2Inspire Academy CIC, Tricia Blake of Diva Choice and Natalie Royer of NL PR Agency. The project was commissioned by Black Cultural Collective whom were funded by Peabody. With the funding obtained we hosted 4 events: on 7th Oct, 17th Dec, 2nd March, 27th April.

​

Black Excellence Pop-up Fest was a total of 4 pop-up festivals held to support emerging entrepreneurs & new black businesses of African & Caribbean descent with opportunities to showcase and sell their products and services. The Fest was a display of the vibrant works of African/Caribbean creatives & entrepreneurs but also a celebration of their culture, food and music.

It was a successful project, below you can find the Impact Report which incorporates both quantitative metrics and qualitative feedback and the Exhibitor Directory which lists the 71 black businesses that exhibited or supported the events.

Time to Glow

Active Project

We have partnered with branding buffet studios and  Divachoice  to run a campaign titled “Time to Glow” to celebrate women over 30’s. The aim of the campaign is to take images captured in the studio of women over 30 that beautifully captures them.

The “Time to Glow” campaign is an invitation for women over 30 whatever their size, shape, and colour to invest in self-love, steal the spotlight and make this their “Time to Glow” - with the best photo experience of their life.

We are inviting women via our campaign to pour into themselves, to celebrate self and use the studio “Time To Glow” not because they need it, but because they deserve it.

on guiding children through their hectic teen years and

preparing them for the big wide world beyond school

and home. It provides the participant with the essential

skills they will need to guide their teenager through this

challenging time; and help them to learn what vital skills

they can share to allow their adults to become confident, independent productive members of their local community. It also helps parents to understand and identify signs of teen gang involvement.
