What a night at the British Blacklisted Honours 2026 @mrporter_london , hosted by @thebritishblacklist and sponsored by 
@ddaglobal | @donjuliotequila | @talkingscripts

Seven incredible honorees from the world of entertainment were celebrated for everything they’ve achieved this past year. Big up to…

🏆 @ashleywalters 
🏆 @lashanalynch_ 
🏆 @officialgiggs 
🏆 @lynettelinton1 
🏆 @deanatta 
🏆 @miss_gloss9 
🏆 @aaron_pierre1

It was a room full of creativity, power, great energy and influence. And we should also talk about Kano and Giggs being the top male comedians in the game right now 😂 (Mo Gilligan, best watch his back!)

But as @farrforce and Nana Evans so rightly said, the biggest bunch of flowers goes to the woman in the last slide - @akuatbbgyamfi . She has worked so hard to build this platform and network for Black British creatives, often out of her own pocket. A woman on a mission that captures my heart. Akua, I hope we get to work together in the future 🙏🏾❤️

Nights like this prove that even when the industry is tough and the odds are stacked against us, we keep thriving, lifting each other up and finding joy. We shine. ✨
