- Spring Statement 2025: What Does it Mean for Women in Business?
Yesterday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered the Spring Statement 2025, and we have noted several points that could directly affect Divas of Colour members, who are predominantly working female small business owners and professionals. While we continue to analyse the full implications in detail, we have now opened a consultation window to provide specific guidance and resources to our members on adapting to these changes through our weekly Member Clinic - Member testimony: Afua Sam
“Through the Divas of Colour Conference, I’ve not only made lasting friendships but also gained other valuable opportunities. I am deeply grateful for all of it. THANK YOU for creating this amazing platform to celebrate and empower women!” - Delia Muhammad: My journey to empowerment
My very first birth was my neighbour who was having her fourth child, and was contracting. Her husband was unable to be with her, so she came to my home. We went to the hospital. The midwife was not very supportive and thought we had come too early. She left us with a student midwife, which was not hospital policy at the time. My neighbour held me saying she wanted to push. I told her to follow her body. From her waist to her feet, she was covered. - Adeshola Akanji: My journey to empowerment

My journey from Brooklyn’s public housing to becoming a social-behavioural scientist and community advocate reflects the transformative power of purpose born from pain. After losing my nephew to gun violence while pursuing doctoral studies, I found myself simultaneously researching trauma while experiencing it firsthand—a uniquely powerful perspective that shaped my approach to healing. - Charity Moyo: My journey to empowerment
I’ll never forget the day I discovered I’d been wearing the wrong bra size for years. Like so many women, I assumed discomfort was just part of the deal, especially having a fuller bust, until a proper bra fitting changed everything. I stood a little taller, breathed a little easier, and, for the first time in a long time, felt truly comfortable in my own skin. - New Era: Significant Changes Coming Soon
