Our Story

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.

At the epicentre of huge business-transformational shifts, we have borne witness to mounting pressure on leaders to respond in meaningful and impactful ways. Both their people and customers expect them to commit to change which embeds DE&I into the very fabric of their organisations.

With this in mind, we are change-makers at Equality Leaders and are on a mission to make DE&I your organisation's culture strategy. We invite you to have an exploratory chat with us on how we can support you on your inclusionary journey, and together we can co-create transformational and sustainable change.
