Adebukola Salau Nominated for the Clevenard Media Award 2025

• Category: Outstanding Impact in Women’s Advancement & Social Change
• Title: Founder & CEO, Her Connect Hub and Women for More International

Palma de Mallorca, Spain — For the first time, the vibrant Mediterranean city of Palma de Mallorca will host the Clevenard Media Award 2025, a global platform spotlighting excellence in entertainment, entrepreneurship, fashion, innovation, and community empowerment.

This landmark event, taking place on Friday, November 21, 2025, will bring together global visionaries, creatives, public servants, and changemakers to celebrate those making bold strides to uplift their communities and industries through leadership and purpose.

Among this year’s remarkable nominees is Adebukola Salau, an inspiring woman in tech, domestic violence survivor, and passionate advocate for women’s empowerment. Fondly known as Arewàh, she is the Founder & CEO of two platforms:

• Her Connect Hub – supports and empowers women-led businesses by creating opportunities to connect, network, and grow.
• Women for More International – supports and empowers domestic violence survivors, single mothers, and women facing societal barriers.

A Champion for Black and Ethnically Diverse Women in Business

Adebukola founded Her Connect Hub in 2017 as a simple WhatsApp group to connect and support Black and ethnically diverse women-led businesses. Since then, the platform has grown into the UK’s largest networking and visibility movement for women of colour in enterprise, hosting over 22 exhibitions and supporting more than 2,000 businesses across the UK, US, Canada, and Africa.

Her Connect Hub has delivered powerful events in London, Essex, Kent, and Birmingham, including business exhibitions, brunches, galas, and webinars — all designed to create community, visibility, and opportunity. In 2024, the platform successfully expanded its exhibitions to Essex and is now preparing for its biggest showcases yet at O2 Guildhall, Southampton, and Birmingham.

Beyond Business: Building Equity and Impact

Adebukola’s mission is deeply rooted in closing the equity gap for women of colour. Despite their talent and resilience, Black women entrepreneurs receive only 0.02% of venture capital funding in the UK over the past decade. Her Connect Hub is changing that narrative by advocating for visibility, access, and lasting impact.

Through strategic partnerships with global corporations like ATOS and VMware, and recognition from platforms such as Women4Africa, The Voice Newspaper, and the East London Business Expo, Adebukola has risen as a respected leader in diversity and inclusion. She was a finalist for Business Woman of the Year and Woman in Diversity & Inclusion at the Women4Africa Awards, and featured on the 2023 Gold List.

A Platform for Change

Alongside Her Connect Hub, Adebukola established Women for More International, inspired by her own lived experience as a domestic violence survivor. The organization provides support, empowerment, and advocacy for DV survivors, single mothers, and women facing societal barriers, ensuring they have the resources and community needed to rebuild their lives.

Together, these two platforms embody her holistic vision: advancing women’s leadership, creating equity in business, and uplifting vulnerable communities.

As Adebukola often says: “When women support each other, incredible things happen.” Her journey is proof of that truth.
