Roadshow aims to educate and empower African and Caribbean communities

A roadshow aiming to educate and empower African and Caribbean communities is heading to Manchester in October.

Aimed at families, young adults and business owners, the Legacy Planning & Financial Preparation Roadshow will feature keynote and educational speakers, and see a host of panel discussions and Q&A sessions take place.

Speakers include Shane Bowes (Pentecostal Credit Union), Selina Flavius (Black Girl Finance), Emmanuel Asuquo (themaneffectuk), and Simon Wright (The Honey Group).

This is why they are so passionate about the roadshow and encouraging communities to change the future for the next generation - leaving more
