 1. Be clear and stay away from industry jargon. The person reading your deck may not work in your industry, but if you can explain the business case, they'll want to know more and that's the point of a pitch deck.
2. Don't overwhelm the reader with information. Before you submit a deck, ask a few younger friends that have no real idea what you're doing to read through it. If they can understand it completely, you're on to a winner.  Growing up, I found it difficult to understand why Blackness was considered to be some sort of cultural monolith. The experience of an African immigrant to the UK, being different from those of a 3rd generation Black British person, similarly the African immigrant to the US, being different from those of a 3rd generation Black American person. It seemed odd that the Black American experience should stand as a cultural proxy for all things Black, yet it does. That’s because, despite the nuances between the geographical and cultural experiences of Blackness globally, there are many more similarities that exist between us. I’m referring to the oppression; the subjugation, manipulation, corruption and exploitation of Black communities, bodies, futures and minds.
