The vision for Fashion, Talent and Black History

  • Through the showcase, we want to share and tell real stories of people’s journey of life in Jamaica and England. Using fashion, music and drama.
  • Educate people about black history through the showcase e.g. performing in schools, colleges or universities.
  • Create a fashion look book for black fashion during these eras. From donated items receive an overview of the history of the item. E.g. memories of wearing the item.
  • To continue performing the showcase as part of Windrush and black history events.
  • To continue working in partnership with Black Country Museum and ACCN (African Caribbean Community Network) during black history events
  • To generate enough income to continue purchases of authentic clothing, pay models, MUA and photographer expenses.
  • To develop the drama aspect of the showcase to create a wider narrative when sharing real life accounts.
  • To continue to work and collaborate with others
