Last night I had the privilege of attending an absolutely amazing networking event hosted by BYP network x Sky and I can’t contain my excitement! The atmosphere was electric, all driven by a common goal of connecting, learning & growing together. A place where the ‘Black community’ can see what is possible if you have a dream, just don’t quit. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Patience N. for being such an inspiration.

As the BYP Leeds Chapter Lead, I have managed to raise awareness for the work that BYP Network is doing to change the narrative for black professionals across the globe. Over the past two years, I've dedicated myself to creating a safe space for sharing experiences and facilitating networking opportunities that connect talented Black professionals with each other and potential employers. BYP chapters like ours have also become a catalyst for raising awareness about challenges faced by Black professionals, while consistently working to eradicate discrimination and promote visibility of Black talent. It has been amazing to see the friendships that have been formed and how members of my group support each other, and I have had the pleasure of seeing several of the Leeds members grow in confidence. I have also grown in confidence and improved my leadership skills because of running this chapter, being part of BYP Network gives me the space to be my true authentic self all the time!
