Corporate Allyship with the Black Community: From Talk to Action

This is event took place on Monday 15th June 2020.

The creation of BYP Network is our way of bringing this talented yet marginalised black community together to support one another and grow together. Helping them connect all over the world is our way of bridging the divisions that exist internally and externally of the black community. We also believe in working with corporations and holding them accountable to real organisational change and responsibility for developing and empowering the black community. We welcome allies that want to help gain equity and equality for the black community whilst understanding the importance of not taking up space.

This event is centred on how those within corporations can be part of the solution in 'changing the black narrative' by being informed on what true allyship is.
