Recognition
Founder and CEO, Bayo Adelaja, on being awarded the prestigious MBE for her outstanding services to social mobility, financial inclusion, and entrepreneurship at Do it Now Now, was congratulated by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who shared the following about the work of Do it Now Now:
“I am aware your organisation has done so much to encourage Black led entrepreneurship, social action and social enterprise all over London. Black led charities have so much to offer Londoners and I know they face an environment that is extremely challenging in terms of funding, structural inequalities and huge rises in demand.”
Bayo’s journey from solo-founder to MBE inspired the themes and lessons delivered in the two programmes on offer here.
