Black Gold is here to share the sounds, tastes, and good vibes that the Caribbean and African communities are loved and renowned for. We understand it can be a complex task to find local Caribbean takeaways, African dance classes, live performances, and nights out. This is why Black Gold was created. Valrie Clarke, who is Jamaican born, founded Black Gold, as she was passionate about providing you with a place where you can find all this, without going through the headache.

Our Mission
If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
-Martin Luther King Jr
