Breaking Hundred Circle

Changing who gets to lead. 

A leadership community for women from minority ethnic backgrounds to grow in confidence, build influence and open doors for those coming behind.

Exceptional women deserve more than a seat at the table. They deserve a community that helps them shape what happens next.

Why we exist

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.

Breaking Hundred Circle was founded by Funmi Onamusi to make leadership development, connection and visibility more accessible to women from minority ethnic backgrounds.

We bring people together to learn, challenge barriers and build legacies that reach beyond any one career.

What we believe
When one woman breaks through, she can hold the door open for many more.
