The 19th Annual PRECIOUS Awards

For nearly two decades, the PRECIOUS Awards have been more than an event. They’ve been a stage where Black women and women of colour are celebrated for the brilliance, resilience, and innovation they bring to the world.

On Friday 21st November 2025, we return for our 19th annual celebration. This is your invitation to step into this Black-tie event filled with elegance, purpose and community.

So often, the stories of Black women and women of colour are overlooked. PRECIOUS has always been about rewriting that narrative. The Awards shine a spotlight on those who lead, create, and inspire in business, leadership, STEM, the arts, and beyond.

When you attend, you’re not just at an awards ceremony, you’re joining a community. You’re applauding the change-makers and standing in solidarity with women who are shaping a better future.

This is a night of recognition, but it’s also a night of joy. The kind of joy that comes from knowing you’re part of something bigger.

Delighted to announce our keynote for the evening:
