On Tuesday I was fortunate enough to attend a dinner celebrating Mentor Black Business and Somerset House's Black Business Residency, sponsored by Morgan Stanley. I was part of their 2nd cohort in 2022 with my first baby Uproot Productions, and earlier in the year Deya was recognised with a £10K award for the growth we’ve undertaken since the programme. Programmes like this make all the difference for entrepreneurs like myself. Having this backing so early on defined our journey and inspired trust and subsequent support from other organisations. It was a joy to be surrounded by inspiring individuals such as Akil Benjamin, Sade Banks-Tubi, Aliyah Hasinah & AARON RAYBE, to name a few. And a special shoutout to Tatale for the mouthwatering 4-course meal! #SomersetHouse #BlackBusinessResidency #EntrepreneurshipJourney #GrowthMindset
