From Legacy to Leadership: Black Professionals in the Digital Age

Every October, Black History Month gives us a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the trailblazers whose resilience and brilliance carved out paths we now walk on.

But it’s also a reminder, we are the history in the making. The way we show up in boardrooms, in classrooms, in labs, and in digital spaces today will shape the opportunities of tomorrow.

This October, BYP Leeds is bringing that spirit to life with an evening dedicated to connection, celebration, and career growth. Together, we’ll explore how Black professionals are shaping the digital age, honouring those who came before us while building new pathways for the future.
