What We Do

PRECIOUS Online is a digital platform, network and resource for ambitious women of colour. Launched in 1999 by Foluke Akinlose MBE it was the first publication of its kind in the UK.

Today we continue to championing ambitious women of colour by shining a light on their achievements and building their professional networks through powerful sisterhood with PRECIOUS Community.

We do this through our magazine, our awards programmes and our regular monthly events that showcase the success of everyday role models.
