As a proud council member of the Greeting Card Association, I’m thrilled to share my latest blog post in honour of Black History Month, where I explore the importance of this time for publishers and retailers. In the blog, I dive into why celebrating Black culture and heritage in the greeting card industry is more than just a moment in the calendar — it’s about representation, inclusivity, and creating products that resonate with diverse communities all year round. Whether you’re a card publisher, retailer, or a consumer, there’s so much we can do to make sure everyone feels seen and valued.

I had the most amazing time at Progressive Greetings Live. I showcased over 150 AfroTouch Design greeting cards!!!! I’ve spent months preparing, working in the evenings and some weekends on my stand and I was so proud of how it all came together. It was great to bring some vibrant colour and afrocentricity to the show ☺️ I loved catching up with my fellow greeting card publishers and existing stockists and I’m so excited to welcome some new stockists to the AfroTouch Tribe!

In honour of #internationalwomensday, I had the pleasure of speaking on an all-women panel at the @gca_uk Dragons speed dating event. The event was so good! And all the speakers were phenomenal.
