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.

- 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.
