Edward Enninful, the editor-in-chief of British Vogue, has been named the most influential Black person in the UK.
The Powerlist 2024 puts Enninful at the top of the annual list, now in its 18th year, which celebrates people of African, African Caribbean and African American heritage, and highlights role models in the fields of business, science, technology and the arts.
Enninful, who is also the European editorial director at Condé Nast, is the first Black man to hold the role of Vogue editor in the UK. Earlier this year, he announced he would be stepping down to concentrate on global projects at the publishing house.
He was born in Ghana and moved to London with his family as a child. After a few years modelling, he began his editorial career at British magazine i-D, becoming the editor at 18.
Enninful told the BBC it was an honor to be on the list, saying, “It shines a light on Black people really breaking boundaries, who are unafraid and champion what it means to be truly diverse in their own industries.”
