Welcome to
A community built by Black women in marketing and advertising.
At lollipop mentoring, we believe in lifting as we rise — because Black women and all women deserve to thrive. What started as a part-time passion project has grown into a powerful movement, connecting hundreds of mentors and mentees across the UK.
With minimal funding but maximum heart, we’ve built a community where confidence grows, careers accelerate, and meaningful connections are made. Our mentees are thriving, our mentors are learning, and together we’re proving that mentorship can be a catalyst for real, lasting change.

lollipop in action
Our events bring the lollipop community to life — creating spaces where underrepresented talent can connect with senior leaders, share experiences, and build confidence through honest conversation and mentoring.
From panel discussions and industry talks to intimate networking sessions, each event reflects our mission: lifting as we rise, because Black women and all women deserve to thrive.
While there are no upcoming events to book right now, we’ve previously hosted a number of powerful and well-attended gatherings in collaboration with brilliant partners and speakers. More lollipop events will be announced soon.
Take a look at some highlights from past events below.
