In this episode, we're joined by Professor Barbara Banda, author of The Model Black, to discuss the experiences of Black British professionals navigating leadership and workplace culture.

We explore the impact of representation, the concept of the "Model Black," and practical steps for creating more inclusive workplaces.

On October 10, Professor Barbara Banda spoke at the LNVH Affiliates Meeting 2024 on 'How Black Women Navigate Race and Why It Matters to White Women.' We engaged with her in a conversation about diversity, 'genuine' inclusion, and her views on intersectional policy.

Dr Melissa Carr is joined by special guest Dr Barbara Banda, discussing her work with 30 successful UK black leaders for her book, ‘The Model Black: How black British leaders succeed in organisations and why it matters’.

In this feature-length episode, Adam chats to Author, Educator and Executive Coach, Barbara Banda

What a brilliant pop-up session we had today (Wednesday 14th December), with Dr Barbara Banda and John Higgins. Our focus was on Barbara’s new book, The Model Black – drawing on both Barbara’s research and her lived experience as a black leader in the UK.

I’m not going to try to summarise the session, I’d never do it justice. So I am pleased to provide a link to the recording of the main session along with links to Barbara’s webpage and some more articles and clips.
