A Vibe Called Tech worked with NIKE to tell the stories of the recipients of the inaugural NIKE London Grant Initiative. NIKE, Inc.’s is working to bring together partners who are working hard to support those suffering from systemic racism in the capital city.

Collaborating with Black and female-owned media platforms, A Vibe Called Tech helped to amplify the voices of the organisations and their participants aiming to shine a light on the incredible work they do, whilst also hearing from the Black communities that make London the city it is today. This project resulted in eight online articles, an in-print feature as well as a radio broadcast series on Foundation.FM with several of the grantees.

“Nike Inc.’s purpose is to move the world forward ­— breaking barriers and building community to change the game for all. This belief drives how we are showing up to advance racial equality for Black people.” – Karol Collymore, Nike Inc’s senior director of inclusive community for social and community impact.
