Founded by Nicole Crentsil in 2017, initially as an annual festival, the brand has evolved into a full-service cultural production studio and consultancy. This summer, Black Girl Fest is empowering young Black people through sports, wellness, and self-development.

Schedule

13.00 - 14.00 | Martial Arts Play
Jasmine Douglas, founder of Babes on Waves Club and Busy Babes, the UK's first Ice Bath & Sauna club for People of Colour, hosts a fun interactive session playing team games inspired by Martial Arts. It’s about getting out of your head and thoughts, to do a workout that’s fun and puts you into flow state, as well as building confidence to try new things.

14.30 - 15.30 | Dance Workshop
Join Natalie Lawrensky, a renowned choreographer, fitness trainer, nutritionist, and Nike Well Collective coach. Natalie's workshop will focus on cultivating strength, endurance, self-confidence, and personal growth through dance.
