Women-owned start-ups are on the rise. Findings from the latest London Annual Business Survey show that one in six businesses in London is now majority female-owned compared with one in 10 three years ago - and they also employ more women than their male counterparts.

In celebration of International Women's Month, the British Library brought together a panel of successful entrepreneurs and businesswomen in fields as diverse as music, science and e-commerce.

Kanya King is the founder of the MOBO awards and one of the most influential women in the music industry.

It's not racist - it says 'music of black ORIGIN' i.e. people of any race can be singing it. Political-correctness-gone-mad morons - you're the most racist of the lot. Amen.

Though I only slightly agree as I oppose any form of racism ( white or black), we actually had what you are acting to imagine. When MTV was created it ONLY played white artists. The first black artist..... Michael Jackson.

she's not even black (unless she has done a quasi michal jackson op) and most of the music they acknlowledge is just street. rock has black origins, do they give rock musicians awards? no.

mobos is a joke.

mobos constantly relies on american artists who just dont give a beep.

and its not the equivalent of an awards show for white people because wite people do win awards at the mobos.

@xquelarx amazing?I dont think so.She is just the whitemans puppet.

Amazing woman!

[beatnik8tv]

She created it because black artists in britain did not have a platform to showcase their talents. What part of that do you not understand?

[beatnik8tv]

What an inspiration

[maxfm82]

for sure. Not even the artists both to turn up.

Calling it 'Black' music just pisses people off and divides the community.

This woman is a silly racist bitch.
