The network, founded by Leon Mann, was inspired by likeminded sports media professionals, who united to raise the issue of an underrepresentation of black people in their industry and made a commitment to enact positive change.
By developing relationships with media organisations, educational establishments, trade bodies and key decision makers, the independent group is committed to helping engender a greater representation of black people within the field of sports journalism and media production.
