This episode of Leadership in Colour presents an unparalleled Black History Month dialogue. Clinging to the edges, we navigate a series of unexpected revelations and insightful detours, led by our distinguished guests on a captivating journey of discovery.

In this special edition, we re-welcome the perceptive Aaron Adams from Criteo and introduce the extraordinary Prena Khan from BidSwitch. Be prepared to be moved as we delve into themes of personal development, the influential sway of mentors, and the nuanced meanings behind names. We honour Black History Month, shedding light on its profound effects on both individuals and communities, debating the significance of an all-encompassing historical curriculum, and analysing the financial consequences of restricting cultural appreciation to just one month. Additionally, we celebrate the deep-seated relationship between cuisine and identity, inviting you to share in this rich and thought-provoking expedition.

This instalment also features compelling narratives of determination and triumph. Listen as we recount how the guidance of a dedicated high school teacher and a challenging friendship motivated an individual towards a remarkable career in advertising, overcoming initial obstacles and familial indifference. We further explore the life-changing impact of role models and the delights of lifelong learning. As we pay tribute to Black History Month, we delve deeper into the critical need for a diverse educational narrative and consider the long-term effects of brief marketing approaches versus the necessity for ongoing endeavours in corporate inclusivity. Prepare for a session brimming with introspection, growth, and festivity.
