Happy Black History Month! Which Black rising stars do you admire most? Please nominate your top 5, so we can celebrate them on The Dots.
We still have a way to go when it comes to conquering the lack of diversity in the creative/tech/digital industries – which is why it is so important for us, as a platform, to use our force for good.
We celebrate and promote Black talent all throughout the year, including via our list of brilliant Black leaders:

This is definitely not an exhaustive list, so we’re always looking to unearth more incredible rising stars to feature and promote, so we can help them get the recognition and opportunities they deserve.
With this in mind, we’d love to know who are your rising stars, so we can celebrate those transforming the industry of today and inspiring the generation of tomorrow.
We’ll then feature this incredible talent throughout Black History Month – including publishing our annual rising stars list for 2020!
To nominate your top 5 (feel free to add more if you prefer), simply @ mention them in the comments below.
Thank you so much in advance for this!
