Launched in June, the BFF was created to help us connect more directly with our Black female audience, creating opportunities to meet, share experiences and build meaningful connections. Both events were a chance to celebrate Black History Month, spend time with existing members and welcome more women into the community.

Hosted in a private box filled with delicious food and drink – think champagne, katsu chicken sliders and mini fish and chips – it was such a special way to spend the evening together.

Drawing on their own experiences, each panellist shared how they built their careers and offered practical advice to find success on your own terms. Afterwards, guests had time to network and exchange ideas with like-minded women over brunch. The spread included pancakes, pastries, muffins, fresh fruit, yoghurt and granola, with tea and coffee flowing throughout. To round off the event, each guest left with a goody bag filled with products from Black-owned beauty brands like [Fenty Hair](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=53138&murl=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.co.uk%2Fproducts%2Fstraight-styling-duo), [Fenty Skin](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=53138&murl=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.co.uk%2Fproducts%2Fhydra-vizor-invisible-moisturizer-20-sunscreen-collectors-case) and [Fenty Beauty](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=53138&murl=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.co.uk%2Fproducts%2Fgloss-bomb-stix-gloss-stick-traced-out-lip-liner-bundle), [Cécred](https://cecred.com/en-uk) and [Charlotte Mensah](https://www.charlottemensah.com/).
