Edward Enninful is named as UK’s most powerful Black person
Powerful Media’s annual list of winners has announced Edward Enninful, the outgoing British Vogue Editor-in-Chief and European Editorial Director of Vogue, as the most influential Black person in the UK.
The 51-year-old described it as an honour to be number one on the list, which he said “shines a light on Black people really breaking boundaries, who are unafraid and champion what it means to be truly diverse in their own industries”.
The Powerlist recognises people across industries including business, science, technology and the arts and celebrates people of African, African Caribbean and African American heritage.
The Ghanaian-born fashion journalist announced his departure from Vogue back in June, as he will take on the new position of Editorial Advisor of British Vogue and Global Creative and Cultural Advisor of Vogue.
