Britains prime minister David Cameron writes in the forward: "We should never underestimate the power of role models. When teenagers see high achievers who look like them, who have reached the top in law, business, politics, theyre going to think, I can do that; I can go far too." And: "Id like to thank those who made the list, for inspiring the next generation"
Michael Eboda, the founder of The Powerlist, writes in the Guardian: "Id have been sceptical if someone had told me five years ago, when I first started work on the Powerlist: Britains Most Influential Black People, that three of our launches would be attended by the prime minister of the day (Gordon Brown twice and David Cameron last Thursday). More so, to be told that it would lead to the setting up of a charity, the trustees of which are some of the countrys leading lights in their respective fields."
