Being a Black Woman, Toluwa is incredibly passionate about supporting her community and doing her part to openly celebrate Women, especially Black Women. She founded The Feminine Edit UK in 2018 to offer women a collective and inclusive space to network, learn from one another & to access opportunities.
It is on everyone to be an authentic ally
