As a Brown woman, a daughter of first-generation Indian parents, our Founder
Minaxi Mistry knew she was different from the very beginning. Navigating
everyday life in Britain as a woman of colour has meant her journey into the
world of DE&I started many years ago. The tragic death of Stephen Lawrence in
1993 was Minaxi's awakening and decisive moment which set her on her DE&I
journey. It was also a watershed moment for race relations in Britain, and like
George Floyd’s murder in the US some three decades later, it represented a
turning point demanding of the world to closely examine systems of injustice and
commit to redressing the inequities.
