Who we are.

Our organisation is a mixture of creatives and entrepreneurs with a like minded goal – to give opportunities to underrepresented communities. This year, we celebrate 9 years of My Runway Group and working with over 15,000 emerging creatives and 500 black businesses.

Yesterday

After overcoming a suicide attempt, Founder Kojo Marfo developed/fostered a strong desire to inspire and motivate our youth to live fulfilling and rewarding lives. This vision was established and led to our signature fashion event in 2013.

In the space of three years, the fashion event and annual production enabled an influx of employability opportunities, opening employment to 500 emerging creatives in the midlands alone.

Today

Our team includes a combination of individuals with experience across many different industries which gives us a unique blend of business, social and creative.

With a newly formed Board of Directors and production team we are currently focusing on providing career support and commercial visibility to emerging creatives and black businesses. Our new and existing hybrid initiatives and projects aims to level the uneven socio-economic that our community has endured for several years.

For the first time, emerging creatives can access our creative hub in soho for content creation, meetings, hot-desking and presentations whiles black businesses can take advantage of our e-commerce platform to reach new customers nationwide.

Tomorrow

Over the last 9 years, we have impacted over 15,000 emerging creatives and over 500 black-owned businesses mainly in UK and also Africa with limited resources. We are on a mission to impact and support over 40,000 creatives and 15,000 black led businesses by 2025.

Our next phase involves securing new brand alliances and leveraging our collaborations with existing organisations to create valuable support experiences for the community. We are keen on opening 5 permanent black concept stores nationwide in key high street areas.

Given we have built a solid track record with very few resources, the future is limitless in terms of My Runway Group will achieve.
