The Black History and Lifestyle Award (BHLA) is an innovative platform established in 2022 by Eziada Folashade Balogun to drive strategic impact within the global Black community. At its core, BHLA serves as a catalyst for economic empowerment, professional excellence and cultural leadership, celebrating the milestones and contributions that shape the history and future.

BHLA goes beyond celebration to function as a professional network and think tank, fostering strategic partnerships with individuals, organizations and businesses. Through collaboration with leading minds in business, government and community sectors, we work to address the challenges and unlock the potential of Black entrepreneurs, enterprises and initiatives globally.
