This week we talk all things community building. We’re joined by two amazing change-makers in their own right - the founder of Mentivity and board member of London policing, Sayce Holmes-Lewis as well as the founder of a platform called Jammi that helps black owned businesses, Khalia Ismain. We dive into our come-up stories and who the people were that saw and rooted for our success in our communities. We also touch on the pitfalls of doing the work in our communities and the toll it takes on us.

Join the conversation here and on our social media pages. We love hearing from you!
