Two British-born men of Dominican heritage have been named to the 2027 Powerlist, the annual UK publication that recognises 100 influential people of African and Caribbean descent. Riki Bleau, a music executive and entertainment entrepreneur, and Antoine Dixon-Bellot, a business investor, are among those honoured.
The list was reported from London on November 9, 2026, and is published by Powerful Media, according to a press release issued with the announcement. Its inclusion of two men with Dominican roots is a point of pride for the families and community connections the two men share with the Nature Isle.
Both men described their inclusion as a celebration. Their recognition places Dominican heritage alongside a wide range of leaders from across business, entertainment and public life in Britain who have built influence outside the Caribbean itself, while keeping a connection to Dominica.
The Powerlist is widely followed by people in the African and Caribbean diaspora in Britain, and its annual edition is seen as a showcase of achievement across many fields. Being named in the 2027 edition puts the two Dominican-heritage honourees in front of that audience and reflects the strength of the Dominican diaspora in the United Kingdom.
The story was first carried by Nature Isle News and was also reported by Dominica News Online. Readers at home and abroad who want to follow the achievements of Dominicans in Britain can look to the full 2027 Powerlist for the wider list of honourees.
