Bellafricana Global Membership Milestone in 2024

Bellafricana 20 Global Members Milestone in 2024

This year, 2024, has been a special one for Bellafricana. We launched the Bellafricana Global Membership to help African creatives showcase their businesses to the world, and we’re excited to celebrate an important milestone, first 20 global members in just two months!

The Start of Something Big: Bellafricana Global Membership

The Bellafricana Global Membership was created to give African creatives the support they need to grow their businesses globally. We know how challenging it can be to access international markets, and this membership is here to make that journey easier.

With this milestone, we’re reminded of why we started to build a supportive space where African entrepreneurs can connect with opportunities beyond borders and show the world the beauty of their craft.

Why This Global Membership Milestone Matters

Welcoming first 20 members so quickly is a big achievement for us! These members represent creatives from industries like fashion, crafts, skincare, and home decor. They’re passionate, hardworking, and ready to take their businesses to the global stage.

But this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about building a community where creatives can connect, grow, and succeed together.

Bellafricana Christmas Marketplace With Salesforce

Bellafricana Christmas Marketplace With Salesforce

Bellafricana partnered with Salesforce to host a special Christmas marketplace at the Salesforce HQ in London, UK. This Bellafricana Christmas Marketplace With Salesforce marked Bellafricana’s second partnership with Salesforce after our first in October to celebrate Black History month.

Salesforce is a global leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and has been a strong advocate for black-owned small businesses and independent African creatives. Beyond providing technology solutions, they actively create opportunities for small businesses to reach wider audiences and grow. This collaboration with Bellafricana is part of Salesforce’s ongoing efforts to support diversity and inclusion by helping African entrepreneurs showcase their talents on a global stage.

Salesforce has been a great ally in helping our members reach a global audience, and this collaboration has further highlighted their commitment to supporting small businesses and African creatives.

A Growing Partnership With Salesforce

Our partnership with Salesforce began in October, when we worked together to celebrate Black History Month. That first collaboration gave African creatives a platform to share their stories, connect with global audiences, and showcase their unique talents. Building on that success, this Christmas marketplace was another incredible opportunity to spotlight our community and celebrate African innovation.
