Happy new month 👊🏾 Stepping into the second half of the year, reflecting on the energy, ambition and community I experienced at the Black Business Forum in Birmingham. As a Black business owner, it was powerful to be in a room full of entrepreneurs, creators and professionals all pushing to scale, grow and contribute to the UK economy, a reminder of how much SMEs drive our GDP and shape the future of business. I don’t get out to events often, so being there, networking, learning and connecting with so many brilliant Black‑led businesses was genuinely refreshing. A huge shoutout to Raphael Sofoluke, whose vision continues to create spaces where Black excellence isn’t just showcased, it’s activated. The impact of UK Black Business Week, UK Black Business Show and the Forum speaks for itself.
