About this Event
The JMS Network is a programme of monthly events centring the Black academic experience and the pursuit of knowledge. It serves as a platform to facilitate discussion and to bridge networks outwith the academic landscape. The overall aim of the JMS Network is to create a protected space where curious minds can engage with experts and extend their communities to people from various fields.
The Black Scottish Adventurers are led by two brothers Enoch and Josh Adeyemi. Together, they lead a community of Black adventurers into the far reaches of Scotland. The group is a fast-growing community aiming to showcase Scotland’s natural environment, promote physical and mental wellbeing, educate on the climate, and provide a platform for community-building.
Enoch Adeyemi identifies himself first as human. Furthermore, he holds the distinction of being a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and consults within the financial services industry. Driven by a strong commitment to positive change, Enoch has founded several organisations, including Black Professionals United Kingdom - a rapidly growing entity that offers support to professionals, students, and corporate partners. Additionally, he contributes his expertise as a speaker on topics he is passionate about including leadership, finance and entrepreneurship. He serves on multiple boards and he’s an author and a radio host.
