Yesterday, Hollywood got a little more African.
Angélique Kidjo became the first African musician and first Black African artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

For decades, Angélique has used her extraordinary voice to do far more than make music. She has championed African culture, elevated women and girls, challenged perceptions and shown the world the power of African excellence.

At Aequitas, we have had the privilege of working alongside Angélique, from the launch of AFAWA at the G7 to the AFAWA Ambassadors Programme.
We have seen first-hand what makes her so extraordinary: she makes people listen, and then she makes them care.

Yesterday, a star was placed on Hollywood Boulevard. But Angélique has been shining a light on Africa for decades.

Congratulations, Angélique. This moment is richly deserved.

As the weekend begins, we're taking a look back at key moments from last week’s state visit:

Nigeria’s return to Windsor Castle and the week of activities across the country celebrating the state visit after nearly four decades marked a clear reset in its engagement with the UK - direct, deliberate, and focused on results.

Across the engagements, one point stood out: progress depends on ex*****on. As our CEO, Dorothea Hodge CBE, said on Business Africa Online (BAO), commitments only matter when they lead to tangible outcomes.

Florence Eshalomi MP, the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Nigeria and Ghana, brought together business leaders for focused, practical discussion.

At the Park Plaza UK–Nigerian Business Reception, conversations moved beyond headlines into the details that shape real outcomes.

Mo Abudu of EbonyLife Group was also present at Windsor Castle, representing African storytelling at the highest level.

With over 200,000 Nigerians in the UK, the diaspora remains a vital link between both economies.

We were present. The focus now is delivery.

BIG NEWS!

Our founder Dorothea Hodge has been awarded a CBE in The New Year Honours List for parliamentary and political services.

For more than 30 years, Dorothea has been opening doors and making sure the voices that need to be heard the loudest actually reach the people who can make change happen.

From securing £70 million in hurricane relief for Anguilla to championing environmental justice in the Niger Delta, from supporting women entrepreneurs across Africa to advising heads of state and international organisations, her work has always been about one thing: real, lasting impact for the communities that need it most.

As she puts it: "Public service has always been about ensuring that the corridors of power remain accessible to those who need to be heard the most."
This honour celebrates not just one remarkable career, but the collective strength of everyone working towards a more equitable world.

To everyone who has been part of this journey, thank you. The work continues
