The Voices In The Shadow II Art Collection

The Shadow of Beauties

Dark skinned Black women have been affected by prejudice and discrimination in the media, at work, and the rest of the world. In this collection, we present Black women’s unique beauty that transcends through the shadow of their melanin.

The Black Tie Event

The official inauguration of our art collection took place on the 23rd of June when our distinguished guests had the opportunity to be the first to discover our collection. We would like to thank our sponsors for their support: Accenture, Discovery, HSBC, Google, Goldman Sachs, Solaris and WorkHuman.

The Voices In The Shadow Book

The under-representation of great Black women leaves Black women and young Black girls to accomplish their goals without role models or confidence. Therefore, an increase in representation is imperative to raise inspiration. Also, new research suggests that more than half of the workforce lack essential digital skills needed for work, raising fears that the country is heading toward a digital skills shortage as employers begin ramping up their post- pandemic recruitment efforts.

‘The Voices in the Shadow’ showcases the journeys of 51 Black women in the UK who impacted the tech industry. In turn, it gives Black women and young Black girls the empowerment they need for them to feel that there is a place for them to flourish professionally.

Your involvement in this fundraising art collection will allow us to produce the 2nd volume of The Voices In The Shadow and showcases the journeys of 51 Black women in the UK & Ireland who impacted the
tech industry.
