‍Initiatives.

Our organisation is a mixture of like minded creatives and entrepreneurs with one defined goal - to give opportunities to underrepresented communities. This year, we celebrate 10 years of My Runway Group and working with over 15,000 emerging creatives and 500 black businesses.

Creatives Beyond Borders

Our cultural exchange programme designed to connect creatives with communities and cultures beyond their own. Through international collaborations, residencies, and showcases, participants gain fresh inspiration, global exposure, and the opportunity to present their work to new audiences. The programme fosters cross-cultural dialogue and creative growth—expanding horizons and breaking geographical limits for emerging talent

C.A.M.P (Creative Arts Mentoring Programme)

This is the first initiative under our Emerging Creatives umbrella designed to connect emerging creatives with global senior executives across the creative industries. Over a 3–6 month period, mentees gain key professional skills, benefit from shared experiences, and learn how to refine their creative practice while tapping into influential networks. C.A.M.P is about more than mentorship it’s about accelerating access, growth, and real-world opportunities.

Run This Town

Run This Town is our live conversation series featuring industry icons with 20+ years of experience—including the likes of Ozwald Boateng, Reggie Yates, and Trevor Nelson. These sessions give emerging creatives unfiltered access to the stories, strategies, and lessons behind long-term success. With over 1,000 attendees and counting, Run This Townhas become a powerful platform for inspiration, mentorship, and real talk—bridging the gap between creative legends and the next generation

Creatives Beyond borders

We believe creatives shouldn’t be limited by the colour of their passports, visa issues or race. We're passionate about fostering cultural exchange and providing opportunities for emerging creatives through initiatives like Creatives Beyond Borders. This program connects creatives from the UK and Africa, offering them new opportunities and audience for growth and exposure. Through masterclasses, panel discussions, workshops, and showcases in key venues, we aim to facilitate collaboration, empower talent, and expand the reach of emerging creatives on a global scale. By bridging the gap between continents, Creatives Beyond Borders opens doors to a new world of possibilities inspired by creativity and diversity.

PURSUING F.A.M.E.

Do you sometimes wish your younger self had access to career guidance? Pursuing  F.A.M.E. is our emerging creative development initiative for the next industry leaders. This educational and mentorship program is designed for those who aspire to pursue careers in Fashion, Arts, Music, and Entertainment (F.A.M.E). Through workshops, industry sessions with global brands, and mentorship opportunities, we empower participants to develop key skills and knowledge essential for success in the creative industry. By fostering talent and providing invaluable guidance, PURSUING F.A.M.E aims to equip emerging creatives with the tools they need to thrive and excel in their chosen fields.

Home & Away Festival

Home and Away, the upcoming cultural exchange festival by My Runway Group in 2025, promises to be a dynamic and enriching experience for African and British creatives alike. Through a full day of mixed showcases, experiential activations, panel talks, art exhibitions, and performances, the festival will celebrate and highlight the diverse talents of creatives from both regions. This immersive event aims to foster connections, collaboration, and cultural exchange, creating opportunities for creatives to showcase their work and forge meaningful relationships across borders.
