A big thank you goes out to Precious', Foluke Akinlose MBE and Jessica Huie MBE for last night's event held at the Biritsh Library. Filling a room with eager entrepreneurs willing to engage in Jessica's experience within the PR sector. From designers to social housing professionals, it was an event buzzing with inspiration. Followed of course by the all important nibbles at the end!

The British Library is one of the issuers of one of my awards.

Footwear Today is one f the world's oldest footwear magazines for the industry. Packed with trends, forecasts and industry knowldege.

When I was approached by them after winning my prime minister endorsed award, I was pleased to hear that they wanted to feature my work as according to them it doesn't just relate to my footwear work, but doing good elsewhere!

You can listen to my BBC Radio Interview from last week here.

I had a great time and hope you enjoy what I had to say! I think it starts around 30.07 minutes.

Thank you to Foluke for founding such inspirational awards.

I was very pleased to have been contacted by the founder of the Precious Awards, Foluke Akinlose MBE saying that the Independent Newspaper wished to interview me.

The article centred around women of colour in the business environment with of course the Awards celebrating women of colour in business. I was eager not to make it a race issue and so I was quoted in the newspaper with my proud mother saying it was a sophisticated comment!

the article can be read here, with the bulk of the information coming from the Foluke herself.
