“A movement not a moment”, join us on Saturday as we get you ready for Black Pound Day!

Across 3 hours, we’ll be holding interactive discussions on Black spending power in the UK, with deep dives into the following topics:

  • Our foothold in the hair & beauty industry
  • Capital investment in black-owned businesses
  • Exposure & partner marketing

Plus ‘meet the founder’ interactive demos from Black British entrepreneurs.

Featured speakers:

  • Swiss World, Black Pound Day founder
  • Dominique Lescott, founder of online afro hair care marketplace Hair Popp
  • Rahmon Agbaje, Extend Ventures
  • Jide Onwuazor, co founder of stylish outerwear brand Velviere

‘Meet the founder’ demos

From haircare to greetings cards, skincare to condiments, puzzles to artwork, there’s a huge diversity of Black British brands to discover and many of them are daily-use products.

We’ll be chatting to more 20 black entrepreneurs, hearing their stories and finding out about their incredible range.

We’ll then drop the links to their products for you to browse freely.

Black Pound Day is a phenomenal initiative, and we need to ensure that we continue to spend in black-owned businesses beyond Saturday. Spending needs to become habitual!
