Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

Assume Your Role

If you’re serious about Diversity and Inclusion. 

Assume the role of a person who is serious about Diversity and Inclusion 

You have the authority to do this”

Commitment

“My PhD was a long term project that produced very little results until the distant future. I was committed to outcomes without an immediate benefit. This is dissatisfying”

Bet on yourself even when no else is

“I had put everything into this. All my time, all my money… I paid for this myself… LSE gave me a few thousand pounds a year but I live in London.. Every relationship I had in my life suffered as a consequence of the PhD. Every single one”
