Well that was a lot of fun and deserves a spot on the grid!
At the Bromley by Bow Centre last night a wonderful group of people gathered to celebrate the launch of Valerian Spicer’s new social enterprise Empower Box CIC, hear how boxing can change lives, and network with each other to forge new connections and nurture existing ones.
I want to thank Valerian for asking me to help her co-host the event - getting to know her mentor Peter Rosen and the team at Bromley By Bow Centre as we’ve worked together to put this event on has been fantastic, and it’s hopefully the first of many.
If anything, our huge new branded banner definitely deserves another outing!
Wanted to also give a big shout out to the Taylor Twins - Chris and Johnny are amateur boxers with their sights set on the Olympics and have been training with Valerian. They’re only 17 but have such an inspiring story and a wisdom beyond their years which they shared with us last night.
They’re not on here but you can follow them on TikTok (I’ll link in the comments) – if you’re reading this and are able to help with funding, they’d love to hear from you.
Thanks to everyone that came along, it was great to hear the buzz of conversation in the room as so many people used words to show their worth (the topic of my talk 😊 ) and I hope you found it a useful and enjoyable evening.
And congrats to our prize winners, Annkatrin Siegl for a branding session with me and Toby Barklem at Minos Wealth for a training session with Valerian!
Got FOMO? I’ll be sharing news of our next event soon!
