HUGE congratulations to my darling neice @gabriella.xii on graduating from the University of Portsmouth. All her hard work came to pass 🙌🏿

It was so emotional to watch her walk across the stage with such confidence, I kept the proud Auntie tears in check though! (In public that is 🥹)

I'm unbelievably proud of this smart, funny, beautiful young woman and excited for her very bright future.

Well done my love, you smashed it👏🏿❤️

What makes a successful podcast? Is the podcast market saturated? Why is the industry lacking diversity?

I didn't get any substantial answers to those questions but it was a revealing conversation nonetheless. This event did make me rethink my podcast idea....I think I am going to do the exact opposite of what was advised. 😁

As ever the deep conversations take place after the event. 😉

Lovely as always to hang out with my friends @brandbycollette and @ariteminue ❤️ taken in The Conduit London by @folukeakinlosembe

The number of women I speak to who are overwhelmed by AI, or avoiding it altogether, is well...a lot!

So this Wednesday, we’re doing something about it.

AI business strategist @andreacorbett is coming into the PRECIOUS space to demystify the whole Claude vs ChatGPT conversation.

This is a small space. safe enough for you to ask the questions you’ve been sitting on.

Bring your laptop and come ready to try things for yourself.

10.30am
Wednesday 27 May

Kicked off the Bank Holiday weekend hanging out with the gorgeous @iamnadiahaynes.

We kept the enjoyment local with good food and drinks in and around Elephant Park. The place is full of hidden gems and the greenery was good for the soul.

I haven't hung out in my neighborhood for a bit. This was such good times. ❤️

It feels like a good few months since I've attended a non-PRECIOUS business networking event. I throughly enjoyed this In conversation with Timothy Amoo tonight.

I knew about Timothy through his former business Fanbytes, but I had no idea of his other businesses, investments or indeed his route to business.

He covered a lot tonight, talked about his parents, his early years in Ghana, the role of ego in business. Ai, how no idea is an original idea, gave out a mentoring session and answered an intense 45 minute Q&A session. All after coming off a 10 hour flight!

It was a really good night full of interesting people and good energy. It was made more special by seeing @tamu.thomas and @mrdwainreid ❤️

PS: I started the book on the bus home and nearly missed my stop. It's a goodie.

On Thursday evening, our founder @folukeakinlosembe will be sitting down with AI Business Strategist @andreacorbett_ to talk all things AI.

Let's be honest: AI isn't going anywhere. But it leaves us with some big questions:

"Do I use it and risk sounding like everyone else?"
"Do I ignore it and fall behind?"

There's a third option and that’s exactly what we’re diving into.

PRECIOUS Nights: Using AI Without Losing Your Voice is an intimate masterclass, one speaker, one room, real conversation.

Join us this Thursday, 9th April, 6:15 PM
🎟️ Get your notebook and grab your ticket via the link in our bio.

On Thursday, 5th February, I’m sitting down with @myvanwys and @iamnadiahaynes to talk about the power of staying.

I'll be asking these two powerhouses: how do you keep going
when it’s slow, quiet, and hard.

An intimate evening for women building businesses, careers, and creative lives.

We're paying homage to the long game.

Come and join us, tickets in bio.
