Last week I had the absolute pleasure of hosting the Annual Sponsors Appreciation Event for the African Caribbean Community Initiative, and what a special afternoon it was.
This organisation and its work in mental health are very close to my heart, so it was a real privilege to stand in the room and feel the power of community, collaboration and genuine connection.
A huge thank you to Jeovers and Angela for bravely sharing their personal journey and the impact ACCI has had on their lives - moments like that remind us why this work matters.
Thank you to Jacqui Penman from Wolverhampton Racecourse for highlighting the strength of partnership, and to Candeece Harvey for bringing such brilliant energy to the room.
I’m always proud to stand alongside the incredible CEO, Alicia Spence (my “big sister”), and it was lovely to spend time with the fantastic Marketing Director, Elisha, too.
Massive thanks to The Mount Hotel for hosting us so beautifully, and Adassa Catering for keeping us well fed!
