For #BlackHistoryMonth 2023, the theme is “Saluting our Sisters”. Honouring the vital roles black women have played in history, from literature and music to politics and healthcare.
BIPC Greater Manchester would like to honour Black Women from a business perspective here and now from the ten boroughs – looking at startups to established businesswomen across all sectors sharing their stories about their journey.
Join us to not only listen but be part of the event where we can share best practices, network and where possible collaborate.
