Welcome to the 232nd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. It’s Race Equality Week, running from February 5th to 11th. Today we are focusing on Equity in the Aviation Industry.
Race Equality Week is an annual UK-wide movement uniting hundreds of thousands of organisations and individuals to address the barriers to race equality in the workplace.
This week, I am speaking to Nzinga Orgill, Founder and CEO of Avi-I Solutions to talk about this key subject.
