As an equality, diversity and inclusion consultant, I advise businesses on how to eradicate bias in their systems, create more equitable workplaces, and provide equal opportunities to all staff.

My Fellowship was about providing access to quality education for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and developing them as leaders.

In 2015, I was offered a place to study for my master's degree at the University of Oxford but faced funding challenges. As a last resort, I created a crowdfunding campaign to raise £10,000 in ten days. Thankfully my campaign was successful, but the whole experience opened my eyes to the inequality within education systems and how people from less privileged backgrounds are locked out of great opportunities. This led me to apply for the Fellowship, to understand how schools and organisations around the world are creating access to quality education for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. I believe quality education is a major key to developing leaders.

My Fellowship was an amazing opportunity to connect with schools that are improving so many young people's lives and to be inspired to create change in this area.
