Who We Are

Our Story

I am Palma Black, the founder and CEO of Soul Purpose 360 CIC.

I have over three decades experience working in community development, regeneration, local and national politics, social enterprise and more. I have been head of community regeneration for a G15 social housing association for nearly a decade and I still work in the industry, keeping up with relevant knowledge, skills, and experience.

Today, I am Head of Engagement for a social housing developer. I think it is important to always remain connected to source for relevance and legitimacy. Through my work, I have been fortunate to be able to contribute to social policy change across many areas in London and the southeast and as a result, I am known and respected in many fields, in a variety of sectors.

I am a trained Personal Performance Coach and DISC Accredited.

I am passionate about people and communities believing that everyone has the right and the ability to advocate for themselves and their communities. I am passionate about social change and believe that everyone has a right to play their role. I am keen to see more Black women playing active roles in their own lives and in the world; finding their soul purpose and following their passions.

I am also a Grants Panel Member of the Football Foundation.

I am a single mum of two and a lover of DIY...

During the latter stages of her illness, Pauline and I shared many deep and often painful conversations. We talked about life, its meaning and of her regrets. I learned a lot about her that I probably would never have if she never became as ill as she was. It became clear that Pauline’s daily acts of kindness, thoughtfulness and putting others before herself, was the outward manifestation of someone lacking in self-confidence and the belief that she could ever have lived a life of her choosing."

"Soul Purpose 360 was motivated by a personal experience and a drive and determination to use that experience to help others. It was fuelled by a series of deep and emotional conversations with my older sister that eventually led me to find my soul purpose.

After a particularly stressful period in her life, my older sister Pauline became seriously ill and was later diagnosed with terminal cancer. We learned that her illness was directly attributable to the stress she endured.

I cannot express enough how transformative this experience has been for me. Being a part of this community has not only allowed me to connect with beautiful and incredible women but has also been a catalyst for my own personal growth and empowerment.

What distinguishes Soul Purpose 360 is the emphasis on strength, education, togetherness and empowerment. This is achieved through various activities, workshops and discussions.

Thank You SP360
