Pause. And Rewind...

Nancy Di Dia (she/her) has over 25 years of corporate executive leadership experience in the field of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. And having move away from the corporate world, she's now doing it on her own times as a leadership coach, public speaker and advocate for equality.

I've only known Nancy a short time yet it feels like a lot longer in the best way! It was exciting to listen to her story of growing up as a rebellious kid in New York and hearing her memories of pivotal historical moments - and their relevance today. Nancy's spirit, energy and passion for fighting for the the underdog from a young age are so so evident today and I love that. I could have chatted to Nancy for hours and I need a trip to New York!

The 3 words she uses to describe her origin story are 'food, wine & flowers'. Listen in for a wonderful conversation!

Raga D'silva is an activist, author, entrepreneur, public speaker & writer. Her TedX talk about coming out at 50 set the scene for much of her work now. Not only is she the founder of a successful speakers bureau in India but in 2023, she set up Outspoken Speakers Bureau last year - a collective and network for queer women & non-binary people.

Raga's story is hard hitting but as a powerful storyteller, she's using it to make change.  The three words she uses to describe her origin story are 'tenacity, faith & conversation'.  This was a brilliant conversation and I'm so glad Raga agreed to Pause. And Rewind... with me. Listen in and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did....
