Progressive Talent our objectives

Our Objectives

  • To change mindsets and attitudes by advocating for equality on gender and ethnic issues.


  • Create a community of support that aims to reduce social isolation and promote well-being by encouraging participation and networking


  • Use research to identify the knowledge and population gap that exists to better understand how to help our communities thrive.

Our Approach

We adopt a community-centred approach to help tackle inequalities for Professional Black women. We know that they play an important role in society and are a crucial

support system for their families and their communities.


A community-centred approach is about connections, leveraging a person's assets; skills and knowledge and providing support and resources that will bring awareness, business opportunities, and capital resources to black women enterprises.


We also adopt a co-production and collaborative approach in developing our initiatives with stakeholders in order to offer bespoke and specialised support where needed.
