Episode Synopsis

#EP4  “Black speakers are not just for Black History Month”
Welcome to this series of bitesized episodes in collaboration with the Diverse Speaker Bureau, where in honour of BHM we showcase some of our amazing Black speakers.
We advocate that Black speakers should not just be wheeled out for Black History Month to talk about diversity and inclusion, racism or Black history, but that Black voices should be heard equally and that equity should be a year round mission.
If we are serious about delivering equity, we need to give real opportunities to Black speakers, pay them properly, and truly demonstrate representation across the board, all the time.

In this episode we talk:

Why representation really works
The power of words
Identifying, celebrating and using all of our uniqueness as humans


AND How engage with BHM and beyond

How to plan BHM
The importance of including everyone in the BHM planning process
The importance of having open conversations all year round
Why a shared dialogue and listening to both sides of the story is important
Why you don't need to see the whole journey or know the end point of the journey to equality
How to just take action, when it comes to EDI work
