#02 - Being different can make you want to change the world with Dionne

Dionne is a black, female and married to a woman. She hasworked in Equality Diversity and Inclusion (or EDI) for the police and currently Liverpool football club. She also volunteers for Ocean Cheshire a Charity who support Cheshire's Ethnically Diverse communities, sharing her life lessons and she is always selflessly trying to improve things for others. So, as you can imagine, we have a lot to discuss, I learnt loads about unconscious bias, micro-aggression's and code switching (all of which, I discovered I am guiltyoff!!)I loved chatting to Dionne, and I’m so grateful for hersharing her perspective of the world through the lens of a black woman, about her culture, why she has a love for KFC (it’s all about meat on the bone!), and the hours it takes to get her lovely braids done. It was a real insight, and doyou know what, being black isn’t about the colour of her skin, but the beautiful differences her culture brings. So have a listen and I hope you enjoy it!For more info about Ocean, here is a link to the websitehttps://www.oceancheshireltd.com/
