The Divas of Colour team are great at putting on events and sessions, that really bring women together. Having heard their story at a recent event, I attended their Womens forums – which I’d highly recommend, for any woman seeking an empowering community!

As a Fashion Designer Travelling to London and having opportunities to showcase my work was very important. My first experience to showcase in London was through DIVAS OF COLOUR , it was amazing.
Their support for women and overall advocating for mental illness is impressive.
Over the past 6years I have had the opportunity to attend their annual conference and it has been a life changing experience.
THANK YOU @ DIVAS OF COLOUR for being a CHAMPION for WOMEN!
