Description

This week's episode feels special. It feels like one everyone should hear, and in it I speak to Grace Mosuro, an organisational development consultant, inclusion coach, and strategist. Grace shares her compelling journey rooted in her experiences as a black, Nigerian-born, UK-raised woman, touching on her early career, overcoming workplace marginalisation, and her shift towards focusing on diversity and inclusion. We delve into fundamental lessons for founders, the significance of intersectionality, the importance of finding joy in daily life, and how resilience shaped her leadership post-breast cancer. Join us as we explore how to build inclusive workplaces and the transformative power of true allyship.
