We are passionate about building a more equal society. One that benefits from the individual voices and unique perspectives that make humanity so richly diverse.
We came together through volunteer projects, all looking to help amplify marginalised voices and support underrepresented groups to follow their ambitions. We started to talk about all the ways we knew the world needed to change. How businesses could be better. Where the gaps were in our society.
Then came lockdown. We found ourselves trapped in our homes with more time on our hands, watching the world having to rethink absolutely everything. And we knew we had to do something.
So we set out on our mission to help organisations reimagine the way they do things – from their structures to their processes to their culture. We want to make sure they are equipped with everything they need to create a tangibly, measurably fairer world where everyone feels included. We want to empower people who have previously felt silenced or excluded to take on leadership roles and take their seat at the table. We have all experienced discrimination at work and in life, and we want to help build a world where no one has to experience that ever again.
