Women in business - London
Ethnic minority businesses contribute in the region of Β£40bn to the UK economy, but government research shows that while almost a third of black people in England want to start their own business, only 4% actually manage to do so - a level lower than any other ethnic group.
Despite this, if you add gender into the mix, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor has identified black women as the most entrepreneurial female group based on total economic activity.
The Twenty Ten Club was set up to provide a platform for black female entrepreneurs to come together and support each other in their business pursuits and to inspire the next generation.
Its vice-chair Jenny Garrett joins Dotun in the studio, with entrepreneur Yvonne Thompson, and businesswoman Loanna Morrison to discuss black women in business.
