We’re proud to announce that our Director, Rebbecca Hemmings, will be speaking at Connections for Prosperity 2025, hosted by the Centre for the New West Midlands.
She will be contributing to a critical panel discussion titled:
“Birmingham as a ‘Global Majority’ City – Issues of Race Across the Region.”
As a company rooted in anti-racism, cultural humility, and compassion-led training, Strawberry Words is committed to helping organisations confront the uncomfortable truths about inequality — and build safer, more inclusive environments in their place.
This event brings together 300+ of the West Midlands’ most influential stakeholders:
▪️ Business and community leaders
▪️ Politicians and policymakers
▪️ Academics and changemakers
Together, we’ll be exploring bold and necessary questions about what true equity looks like in one of the UK’s most culturally diverse regions.
We’re honoured to be part of a conversation that not only reflects our mission, but strengthens our resolve to create lasting change.

What does the future hold for anti-racism work?

In this blog post, we imagine what the world could look like if anti-racism efforts truly took root in everyday life, leadership, and education. Drawing inspiration from history, current movements, and bold thinking, we ask: are we willing to do the work to create real, lasting change?

Read the full post and reflect on what kind of future we are shaping today.

From: Rebbecca ⭐️⭐️⭐️I’ve been invited a special reception at the House of Commons today, hosted by the APPG for racially marginalised business owners and the Department for Business & Trade.
The event is focused on raising awareness about the King’s Award for Enterprise, one of the most prestigious recognitions for UK businesses. Which before getting this invitation, I had no clue it existed.
As the founder of Strawberry Words, a company rooted in emotional safety, racial equity and compassionate leadership, I’m looking forward to learning how we, and other values-led businesses can position ourselves to apply for such an opportunity which I have now learned many businesses have benefitted greatly from.
I’ll be attending not just for myself, but for the many purpose-driven businesses in our communities whose work deserves wider recognition.
