Your most valuable asset...Being yourself, a minority in the workplace

<p>This episode was so special to me because I got to speak to Blaire G Harvey and Karen Foster, two incredible women that inspire me and are a continuous reminder that being yourself is your most valuable asset!</p> <p>Blaire and Karen are the founders of <a href="https://thevisionarysquad.com/">The Visionary Squad</a>, a design studio that specialises in creating networking experiences that cultivate meaningful relationships, powerful connections and transformative conversations.

Diversifying corporate supply chains to break down systemic inequity

<p>It was bitter-sweet recording this episode because it's my last conversation for season one of the Equ(al)ity Matters Podcast.</p> <p>I had the pleasure of speaking with Jason Roberts, Founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.kaleida.co/">Kaleida</a>, the UK's first online, interactive and fully inclusive B2B marketplace for Tenders (RFPs).</p> <p>Jason brings a dynamic perspective that addresses multiple levels that racism operates on. He illustrates how society's perception of black people will often dictate the opportunities and interactions they face and also shows how corporations have the power to break down generations of systemic inequity simply by choosing diverse suppliers, who in turn benefit their own communities.</p> <p>We started this podcast to share stories of some incredible people who are doing amazing things in the fight for Racial Equity and how their own life experiences and careers have influenced that fight. We feel honored to have had these conversations with all of our guests because not only have they been a source of great learning but they have also validated the work that we are doing here at the <a href="https://www.raceequalityproject.com/">Race Equ(al)ity Project</a>.</p> <p>I hope that you have been inspired by our guests as I have and I cant wait to bring you more in our next season.</p>
