Tired of cold DMs that go nowhere?
Sassy Salon is a monthly networking event for brands and content creators in London — bringing the right people into the same room so the conversations that usually take months of outreach can happen over a coffee instead.
Hosted by Sassy Talent, each session brings together approximately 30 brands and online content creators for a focused morning of panel discussion, structured introductions, and genuine connection. No pitch decks. No hard sell. Just the room.
This Month's Panel: Henika Patel, Hannah Àjàlá and Jane Grey
Our second Sassy Salon features a conversation with:

Her work has been featured across major media platforms including BBC, Channel 4, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, The Guardian, and many more, establishing her as a trusted voice in sensual wellness.
Hannah Àjàlá is a multi-award winning international journalist and presenter, and the founder of We Are Black Journos (WABJ), a platform celebrating Black journalists across the UK media industry.
