In this episode, we talk with Ashiedu Joel, inclusive leadership and cultural capital consultant. We are honoured to hear more about her story!

We talk about:

• Her journey, as a Black African woman in modern Britain, from school to the workplace


• Stereotypes, biases and microagressions


• Compassionate leadership


• Why we need more open conversations

Ashiedu also shared with us strategies that helped her find belonging in the workplace. For the most part, those strategies were reliant on herself - deciding when to engage, educate, and when not to. This may have such a toll on one’s mental health.
