Background

About Tru Powell

I am Tru Powell and I help creative entrepreneurs build and monetise their personal brands. It's incredibly important for every entrepreneur and business leader to be visible by using the power of press and PR. My motto is if you are not visible, you are invisible. I use my proven blueprint over a series of programmes and mentoring schemes to power up personal brands. I am the CEO of the Multicultural Business & Community Champion Awards (MBCC Awards), a company that sets out to celebrate unsung heroes and champion diversity in the UK. The prestigious ceremony welcomes a staggering 800 and is growing year on year. As CEO, I am responsible for the company's growth and the entire operation. I am also the CEO of the Black Business Magazine, the UK's premium online and print publication for Black business. The magazine as been created to uplift and empower the Black community. I am also one third of the Directorship for Aston Performing Arts Academy, a community interest organisation that exists to empower young people through performing and creative arts. Since the organisation's inception in 2004, the company has impacted the lives of over young people in the Midlands. I am passionate about championing the cause of equality, justice and freedom of speech. I believe there should be a true representation of all communities irrespective of race, gender, religion, sexuality, age or class. More recently, I have been doing a lot of work around race relations, specifically being anti racist.
