London 30th AUGUST 2024:
Melanin Travels Magic
Melanin Travels Magic, in London has been named as one of the nation’s 100 most impressive small firms by the Small Business Saturday UK campaign, as it kicks off a wider call to encourage public support for small businesses.
Melanin Travels Magic, an Award-winning Travel agency for the Black Diaspora & POC helping you explore Africa & The Caribbean was founded by Christina Belloge in 2020.

What is SmallBiz100
Running in the UK for over a decade, Small Business Saturday is the UK’s most successful small business campaign, which takes place each year on the first weekend in December, celebrating small businesses and encouraging consumers to 'shop local' and to support businesses in their communities.
03
Our Excitement to take part
“We’re so thrilled to have been selected this year as part of the SmallBiz100 campaign” declares Christina Belloge the Founder.
“It’s great to celebrate Melanin Travels Magic as part of this year’s campaign,” said Michelle Ovens CBE, Director of Small Business Saturday UK.
“This year’s SmallBiz100 list shows the huge contribution small businesses make to their communities and the wider UK economy. Despite the economy turning a corner, the nation’s small businesses continue to feel the fallout of a challenging few years and still need significant support to get back on their feet. Small Business Saturday is all about getting the nation to come out in force and show its love for our local businesses.”

How can you get involved
With a mission to support and celebrate the UK’s 5.5 million small businesses, Small Business Saturday is grassroots, non-commercial campaign. It was originally founded by American Express in the U.S. in 2010, and the brand remains the principal supporter of the campaign in the UK.
Since the UK campaign started in 2013, it has reached millions of people and seen billions spent with small businesses on the day itself, with impact that lasts all year round.
Last year, the campaign received support from the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London, as well as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Over 90% of local councils also supported the campaign, which trended across social media on the day.
