Authenticity… The Driver of D&I - Akama Davies, Co-Founder of We Are Stripes

Creating a diverse, equal, and inclusive company, it’s been a topic on many companies’ agendas for a while now.

But where do you start, what journey do you need to go on and what organisational changes do you need to make to drive a culture shift and bring D&I to the forefront?

This week, Amy’s joined by Akama Davies, Director of Global Solutions & Innovation at Xaxis and Co-Founder of We are Stripes, a DEI consultancy whose mission is to address the ethnic imbalance in the creative and advertising sectors.

In one of our most relevant discussions to date, Akama talks Amy through the work the team at We are Stripes are doing to support companies in their quest to address their approach to delivering robust, genuine D&I talent strategies.

The pair also discuss the media and wider societal impacts surrounding race and the Black Lives Matter movement have had on D&I, as well as how us as individuals can drive change and create positive actions within the workplace.

For anyone seeking to address their D&I policies in 2021, the actionable takeaways Akama shares throughout the discussion are not to be missed.
