IT'S OUR TIME.

‘Don’t sleep on’ is a term used to describe a person who should not be underestimated (Urban Dictionary, March 2009). In our case, it’s a term which warns not to underestimate the Global Majority.

EVENTS

WHAT IS DON’T SLEEP ON US?

We bring people from minoritised backgrounds together in a way which hasn’t been done before. DON’T SLEEP ON US is networking done differently.

​

Our events are exhilarating with a dancefloor and DJ, laugh out loud funny moment and an anti-cliquey vibe. Feedback from our community shows our audience feels heard, seen and understood - a feeling of being at home.

​

When we started in April 2018, our aim was to leave everyone feeling like they can take on the world. To send a message from our community that we will no longer be underestimated at work and in wider society.

​

This was the start of many large scale events. DON’T SLEEP ON US is now a thriving community of over 1500 people having attended at least one event, and a newsletter reaching over 700 change makers. You can watch some short videos of the events here.

WHAT WE DO

“LET’S CREATE A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE FROM OUR COMMUNITY FEEL WELL REPRESENTED, APPRECIATED AND RESPECTED ACROSS ALL AREAS OF WORK AND SOCIETY.”
