A Road Map To Inclusive Diversity with Nzinga Orgill

Becoming Unapologetically Me with Helen Norbury

In this final episode of this season, host Helen Norbury talks to Nzinga Orgill, a Race and Culture Expert (RaCE) who is passionate about people and successful in delivering transformational change to benefit individuals and organisations. Nzinga is a thought leader with over 16 years experience in the Transport industry in various roles within Strategy, Governance, People Change, Data and Analytics , Project Management, Innovation and Automation and Creative Problem Solving.

Nzinga is experienced in leading a company-wide Diversity and Inclusion network that focuses on Culture and Ethnicity engaging with all levels of the organization from C-suite to front line colleagues creating strategies and plans to deliver and meet targets.

By influencing Senior leaders, Nzinga has successfully driven positive change, moving the dial for Black Asian Minority Ethnic colleagues in areas such as representation and progression. As a disruptor and by challenging the status quo, her recommendations and initiatives have resulted in increased organisational efficiency and embedded sustainable change.

In this conversation, Nzinga shares the importance of positive role models. Nzinga grew up in a world that didn’t show her people who looked like her in aspirational career positions. Were it not for a mother who instilled a value of you can be anything you set your heart on, Nzinga’s future may have taken a very different direction.

This is SUCH an important conversation. Helen and Nzinga also discuss the cumulative effect of many daily micro-aggressions and the result of these on the mental health of people in ethnic groups and how each person can support themselves whilst the ocean liner of organisational and institutional culture change is turned.

Key Takeaways

• Are you jumping on band wagons, such as unconscious bias training, or have you deeply understood the needs and inequities that currently exist in your sphere of influence
• We can’t necessarily change society on our own, but we can change an organisation’s culture in respect of racial inclusion so everyone can thrive
• Find the courage to do the right thing, even if you don’t feel the courage now or fear what others will think, say or do. Your courage is infectious.
• It is crucial to develop a mindfulness practice to deal with the physical and mental exhaustion resulting from daily, regular chippings at your resilience
