Founder and CEO at The Equal Group @ 56 Black Men Billboard Launch - Peckham, London, UK

“The Peckham Billboard Launch for 56 Black Men was a monumental occasion for all involved. For most, if not all, it was the first time we had seen ourselves on a billboard – even more than that, as a community, we are not used to seeing positive depictions of black men in such a progressive and hard hitting way.

The atmosphere was euphoric and everyone was in high spirits. Then Cephas took to the mic. In just a few minutes, he perfectly captured the sentiment of the occasion and gave everyone a glimpse into what is possible for us as a community if we continued to change the narrative. Giving everyone the sense that this was just the start!”
