Description

In this, our 17th episode of Diverse Talk Matters, Tash is joined by April Dawn, founder of Creating Equals, to explore the unique challenges Black women face in the workplace and the impact of racialized trauma on their lives.

April shares her experiences working with Black women affected by domestic abuse, health inequality, and workplace discrimination, highlighting the urgent need for safe spaces and cultural competence within organisations.

Together, they unpack:

• Misogynoir – the intersection of racism and sexism Black women experience.
• The impact of hair discrimination on confidence and authenticity at work.
• Why knowing your worth is essential when negotiating pay and opportunities.
• The importance of real allyship in driving meaningful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
• How organisations can go beyond performative DEI efforts to create real change.

This conversation is a must-listen for leaders, HR professionals, and anyone committed to fostering truly inclusive workplaces.

Join Tash and April Dawn for this insightful and thought-provoking discussion.
