Our Purpose

We are reimagining what charity sector leadership looks like. JMB supports a generation of leaders who are courageous, creative and driven to build anti-racist organisations that can transform society.

We help people understand racism as a tool of power, oppression and subjugation. We turn anti-racist theory into practice and challenging conversation into meaningful action.

Anti-Racism, Bravery, Creativity, Joy

Meet The Dream Team

Martha Awojobi, is Founder, Director and fearless leader of JMB Consulting. After spending ten years working in the charity and philanthropic sector, she was disappointed to find that the space that she believed could be truly transformational in bringing about the liberation of oppressed groups also perpetuated horrific racism. Leaders were slow to innovate, resistant to name structural racism and reluctant to meaningfully include Black and Brown people in decision making. Instead, they were preoccupied with being seen as ‘good people doing good work’ at the expense of confronting and dismantling the very real racism that their organisations perpetuate. Martha works in coalition with organisations who share her goal of liberation from oppression through her work at JMB and through #BAMEOnline series which supports fundraisers and founders of colour to navigate the philanthropic sector and generate sustainable income.
