Today’s episode is with Devon Michelle. She is one fabulous black woman. She has so much drive and energy and I LOVED learning her story.
She’s a single mum, advocate for the underrepresented and through a non-traditional unplanned career path found a role that feels fulfills her purpose. She leads diversity and inclusion for a large multinational with responsibility for Canada, USA and South America and is nailing it!
If you are wanting to learn from people who have built their career in diversity and inclusion Devon's path is a great example.
We talked about the challenges of this career choice including how you have no control, how diversity means different things across the world and how to be the effective when you are driving work across a large region. We also talked about how progress can be slow and the work can be lonely, but engaging with people across the organisation is key.
She is also FUNNY and clever and a complete live wire. She has over 40,000 followers on TikTok (because she is funny and clever). She also has a banging instagram where she calls herself the Olivia Pope of HR (I would agree). Her DP square instragam page is great too.
