Gain industry insight from mentors that have worked at some of these great companies
Joining Black Valley allowed me to gain real insight into navigating the UX/UI field, particularly as a black female. I've been able to gain incredible career direction, real project experience and made some amazing connections too.
Mentee, January Cohort
I sincerely believe that Black Valley has been a life changer for me. After Leke matched me with Richard, everything literally changed. I was able to focus on goals due to his guidance and through him I created meaningful and wonderful relationships.

Black Valley transformed my tech trajectory. Within my first few weeks, I grew confident in creating visualizations, finished an SQL course, and began working with python libraries. I’m now much more confident in myself and my growth.

The Black Valley mentorship program was a great experience. Being connected to mentors from top VC companies helped us focus on the things that matter and become investor ready. A highly recommended program!

Black Valley gave me an opportunity to cultivate my skills whilst transitioning to UX Design and Front End Development. The best part is the access to remarkable people with an invaluable wealth of knowledge and experience.
