WorkPride 2024: Intersectionality Matters: Inclusive Approaches to Diversity

Speakers:

• 

  Hajira Mahomed

  Global Diversity & Inclusion Lead
  BBC News

  I recently stepped into London Broadcasting House as the new Diversity and Inclusion Lead for BBC News. Prior to the BBC, I worked in various roles in government, from making the Civil Service more inclusive, to cutting my teeth on gender equality policy in The Government Equalities Office where I worked to the Minister for Women and Equalities. I was part of the team that worked on the gender pay gap regulations, launched the largest national survey of LGBTQ+ people in the world to date, and commemorated the centenary of women's suffrage. Before the Civil Service, (and in another life) I worked in the National Trust where I trained to be a conservator, caring for historic objects and buildings across the UK. If you’re watching Bridgerton, Osterley House is one of the properties I worked in! I was born in South Africa where I studied Journalism and Psychology at the University of Johannesburg. I came to the UK on a gap year and has built a life and career - 'fighting the good fight', whilst living and eating my way through London with my partner and plant babies.
