In this episode of The Housing Platform, we’re talking about diversity in the housing sector with Lara Oyedele. 

Lara paid a visit to the offices of Platform Housing Group to deliver a talk around her campaign as president of the Chartered Institute of Housing, In My Shoes. 

It was fascinating to have her speak, not only because she makes some interesting points about the lack of diversity in housing boardrooms....but also because she had music and quizzes and prizes as part of her session.  

Fair to say her style and delivery of what can be a tough message for some to swallow hit all the right notes and left our colleagues and no doubt many others with some food for thought.

After the session, we sat down with Lara to talk about her mission and the term she has enjoyed as President of the CIH as well as what else she’ll be working on after her term has ended. 

Remember there are other podcasts in our Housing Platform series that might interest you – including what it means to produce a zero bills home and how the relationship between government and housing is changing.
