British Heroes (Black Icons) Collection Shortlisted for the Henries Awards 2026

I'm delighted to share that my Black British Brilliance greeting card collection has been shortlisted for the Henries Awards 2026 in the Diversity & Inclusion category.

This growing collection celebrates Black British icons whose stories, achievements and contributions deserve to be recognised, remembered and shared. Featuring beautifully illustrated designs inspired by figures including Mary Seacole, Olaudah Equiano, Claudia Jones, Winifred Atwell, Althea McNish, Sir Lenny Henry and Stormzy, the collection champions the importance of telling stories through stationery.

More than just greeting cards, these designs are a reminder that cards can help preserve history, celebrate legacy, spark conversations and inspire future generations.

Being shortlisted is an exciting milestone, and I look forward to the next stage of judging later this year. Thank you to everyone who has supported Ionna Marie Designs and helped bring this collection to life.
