IN THE MEDIA
Everyday in the news there is a story to do with race. Through the work that we do with our services and book, we are proud to push the narrative forward through our speaking engagements, interviews, articles and reviews.
Articles by Maggie and Jane have appeared in The Huffington Post, HR Magazine, and Black History Month. Maggie and Jane have also appeared on BBC Radio and spoken as guests on a number of podcasts, commenting on the language of race and sharing their experiences as Black female authors. Following the book's release, Maggie and Jane were awarded the BHM Saluting Our Sisters award.
