Our Passions
Our Project
Our projects aim to encourage African and African-Caribbean communities in the London regions to engage more proactively in the space technologies, dramatic arts, and the development of the provisioning of theatre, film, television, and facilities for the presentation of public performances.
We want to recognise talent wherever it is found from nation-states to the individuals in each business, organisations, institutions, communities, and social structures.
The Problem
Structural racism disproportionately impact blacks and other minority in employment and the coronavirus pandemic, and the recent review provided by Doreen Lawrence continues the legacy
of the government not providing the support these groups need.
The follow taken from the The Guardian newspaper on 27 Oct 2020:
In June, Public Health England’s report on Covid-19 deaths confirmed the risk of dying among those diagnosed with Covid-19 was higher in those in BAME groups than in white ethnic groups.
After accounting for the effect of sex, age, deprivation and region, it found that people of Bangladeshi ethnicity were at most risk, with about twice the risk of death compared with people of white British ethnicity.
People of Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, other Asian, Caribbean and other black ethnicity had between 10% and 50% higher risk of death when compared with white British.
The review called for a plan to tackle a rise in hate crime and stigmatisation of minority ethnic communities, particularly among politicians.
Our Solutions
We want to bring young people (16-21) from different minorities backgrounds together in a work space for them to engage in activities that will develop life long skills to allow them to serve their communities and play an active role in making society a better place.
Develop long term strategies to build and enhance our services to our communities by obtaining the resources and support of employees, investors, and government to underpin our resilience and independence for the short to long term sustainability of TECHYON CIC

Funding Our Own Survival So We Can Thrive
Since the beginning of this pandemic, the government has not done enough to support Black people, leaving too many of us in survival mode. Before COVID-19, there was already a racial-wealth gap, and this pandemic has exacerbated it.
We believe it is important for black people to support other black people to be success if there is to be a long term change to our dependency on constantly relying on other groups.
However due to the legacy of Europeans creating racist international institutions to control nation-states natural resources and socially engineer their peoples in the near and short term breaking out the survival mode isn't possible.
