“It’s a surprisingly low amount of black people who are here in this country, but our presence and our culture is massive.” RTKal, DJ and rapper.

The name takes inspiration from the historical examples of black-owned businesses in America.

It’s also set to explore what the future could like for black entrepreneurs in the city.

Black New Street will be showcased online on 22nd October at 4pm.

It will include interviews from The P Word, a leadership development programme for diverse artists and entrepreneurs. The P Word targets “professional roadblocks preventing business growth and success.”

It’s also supported by leadership experts from The Centre For Research In Ethnicity Minority Entrepreneurship “Creme” and Punch at Aston Business School.

The documentary has been produced by Click Visusals.
