In our latest episode of Inclusion Unlocked, Sasha is joined by Funke Abimbola, MBE. Funke is an award-winning, C-suite diversity, equity and inclusion leader, lawyer, media commentator and author who, following a highly successful legal career, has become a leading figure in the DEI space.
We explore Funke's early career, her experience of adversity and discrimination and the impact this had in shaping her approach as a diversity advocate and champion. Funke shares a candid insight into how the murder of George Floyd acted as a catalyst for her career move into DEI, and her experience of growing a successful DEI business alongside her incredible son Max Abimbola. We also explore the importance to Funke of celebrating - and educating others around - her Nigerian heritage. And Funke gives us a hint of what to expect from her first book, Climbing Mountains, set for release in 2024.
For leaders who are committed to addressing inequity and discrimination, and for colleagues at all levels who would like to use their voice to lift others up and inspire change, the candid and personal insights shared by Funke make this episode an absolute must listen.
