A column by Lea Jovy-Ford, Founder of the Diverse Leaders Group, who has been at the helm of her own companies since 2005. Most recently co-founder and COO of an EdTech company, which she built to be anti-racist and committed to DEI across the entire business – both internally and across the products.

She resigned when it became clear that a company with a white CEO could never be truly and fully anti-racist.

Lea writes about building an anti-racist organisation and what it’s like to experience racism, even at the top level of leadership in a company.

Hello, I’m Becky (yes, that is my real name!).

The aim of this column is to share my ongoing journey, as a white woman, to being anti-racist, in the hope it encourages and leads other white people to do this work and be part of a rapid movement to an inclusive, equitable and safe world for all of us.

I’ll share my learnings from the Black and Brown people in my life and the resources that they generously recommend, my thoughts and reflections and, most crucially, the actions I take to remedy my own racism and become a leader towards anti-racism.
