The PRECIOUS Awards - this is it, final call for entries!




We've had some great entries for the PRECIOUS Awards again this year. It’s been inspiring and uplifting to read about how and why so many women of colour have set up in business, and also read about the inspiring strides our Leadership nominees have been making in the workplace.

But here at PRECIO… Continue

And The Winners Are...

Oh what a night!

The 2008 Precious Awards was an evening to saviour and I'm still reeling from the positivity and warmth this night of celebrating some of the UK's top Black and Asian female entrepreneurs produced.

Our hosts for the evening were Hannah Pool, Guardian writer and author and Rasheed Ogunlaru, the Precious business coach, who opened the event with messages of support from David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Baroness Amos.

The evening proceeded in style with an entertaining, warm and hu… Continue

After sitting next to her at last years British Book Awards (we were both guests of the Arts Council decibel team) I began plotting (yes plotting!) a way for Precious to work with her.

I'd r… Continue

Out and About!

Phew, its been a full on couple of weeks. It seems that event and launch season is now in full flow and I’m having trouble keeping up!

On Tuesday it was off to Millbank for the Channel 4 Spring/Summer press launch. (I wonder if I was the only person a tad surprised to see that they had alcohol on offer at 11am?)

The event kicked off with a man in a suit(he didn’t say who he was) bounding on to the stage announcing: “I told you last year that things were going to change” err…I wasn’t invited la… Continue

Hi Foluke, nice to hear back from you, I look forward to hearing from you next time. I hope you are pleased with your current hairstyle? I hope to attend your event at Hackney college on 10th march, one of my old study haunts. Take care until then if not before. God bless
