Black Powerlist 2016 continues to inspire

Michael Eboda had vision over a decade ago that the United Kingdom should know better those black heroes and heroines who make a difference to our world and at the same time inspire young black men and women to follow in their paths. Thus the Black Powerlist was born.

Not only has this annual event got bigger and better each year, but Eboda its CEO has also ensured that an offspring from the Powerlist has been the building and setting up of a Black business school.

Monday night was the annual dinner at the prestigious V&A museum in London. Black Britain’s first female high court Judge, Linda Dobbs, chaired the proceedings,  which saw Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant Ken Olisa named as the most influential Black Briton today.

In essence the project has never been about who’s number 1, 2, or 92, but rather it’s always sought to focus on celebrating success and planning for greater unity of purpose for Black communities.

Unveiling the Powerlist 2016, Michael Eboda said:

I am delighted to salute the truly inspirational men and women in this year’s magazine."

Ken is wonderful role model who highlights the exceptional talent in black communities.”

The Powerlist celebrates the achievement, excellence and success of people of African and African Caribbean heritage in Britain across a wide range of industries.
