Overview of This Issue
Welcome to Issue 13, our 3rd anniversary issue!
Yes, 3 years ago we launched the very first issue of Pitch Black Magazine during Black History Month. The mission was simple, to celebrate us, cheer us on & challenge us to tune out the noise and turn up with poise.
The aim is still the same.
So, in this issue we shine a spotlight on one of the UK's most successful, socially conscious and sincere business leaders and hope you will be enlightened by the tales and get some tools & tips that will equip you so your business and career can thrive.
You’ll love Rob Pierre’sjourney from Trinidad to the top of Digital Marketing! You can #read the cover story and then #watch the video of our conversation. Rob sure dropped some gems!
Matthew Addai & the Cashblack team are back spotlighting 10 Products to Buy from their platform. They are joined by chef and founder Arron Maddix spotlighting 10 Plates to Savour and Christina Belloge from Melanin Travels Magic, spotlighting 10 Places to Visitin Africa & The Caribbean.
They’re also joined by some great contributors to expand our thinking including Tomi Ayodeji, from FORTéFIED, Remi Dada from the School of African Languages, Tinique Hayes from Hay Events and, of course, Nicola Millington from FP Comms.
If that wasn’t enough, we’ve also got Elaine Bowes from Pentecostal Credit Bank and the one and only Eric Collins from Impact X Capital. In fact, we’re cooking up something which we think you’ll like. :)
We hope you’re having an impactful Black History Month and that the impact will continue way after October.
Enjoy this issue!
