What a wonderful black female run business venture in the heart of Manchester. As soon as you step inside the studios you're made to feel at home and welcome as you browse.

Working at BlackOwned Studios has been essential to my growth as a business owner. The support and advice from the staff give me confidence and help me overcome my challenges in my work. Because the environment is so client-centred, I'm taken care of so that I can focus on my own clients knowing I'm fully supported. Its a safe, relaxing space that makes my busy work hours so much easier to navigate.
