Award-winning diversity consultant, Aisha Suleiman is transforming workplace culture through her proven strategies of developing effective employee networks. A change agent in her field, Aisha has extensive experience in reaching corporate diversity goals and highlighting under-representation of minority groups in business. Armed with her expertise, Aisha is able to replicate such success for your company as a speaker.
Developing a reputation as a leader, Aisha has pioneered two of her own ventures, firstly founding The World in Her Words in 2019. Empowering women to take control of their own careers, The World in Her Words is a unique community created for Black women and women of colour to support each other through inspiring stories and advice sharing. Most recently, Aisha has founded The Inclusive Culture, which helps organisations to achieve their diversity, inclusion and business goals through effective employee networks. In 2021, she launched an online course on how to start an employee network.
With a professional background in HR and personal experience of the challenges faced by those from ethnic minority backgrounds, Aisha naturally became a corporate authority on tackling the issue. Joining Amazon Web Services in 2016, Aisha impressed at every level in her role, eventually being made Education Program Manager, responsible for a global program that helps students gain key skills in cloud computing. During her time at Amazon, Aisha founded the Black Employee Network for the company, starting from scratch in 2017 and building the network into an organization that now has a significant impact on Amazon’s diversity and inclusion strategy.
Currently, Aisha continues to spearhead her consultancy in addition to being an Inclusion Board Member of the Rugby Football League. Named amongst the Investing in Ethnicity Top 8 Future Leaders, and the EMpower 100 Ethic Minority Future Leaders in 2020, Aisha’s influence on corporate diversity is undeniable. At events, she is able to discuss actionable strategies for gaining and retaining the best talent across a diverse spectrum, futureproofing your business.
“Aisha has a keen ability to connect historical systemic inequities to current-day application and holds leaders accountable to action. Through our events focused on race and ethnicity, we have developed a framework to drive learning of systems of inequity, application to and action within institutions, and build community. Over the past few years, our events were too US-centric. In 2020, we expanded to the EU. To do so, we needed key leaders and subject matter experts in the region to ensure success. Aisha was instrumental in applying our framework to the EU, to driving critical inspections, and bringing key leaders to the table to commit to action.”
“Aisha spoke at our launching edition of our Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace Conference. Her session was absolutely fantastic and so engaging for our audience – she brought so much insightful practices and also a great discussion with our chair during the Q+A. A pleasure to work with and look forward to any future projects!”
“Aisha delivered an interactive workshop for attendees at our INCLUSION 2020 virtual diversity and inclusion conference, around how to set up an employee network. Aisha was a clear highlight of the event, providing a highly engaging and insightful session that prompted excellent feedback from the attendees. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aisha as a speaker/workshop host – she is a pleasure to work with, an expert in her field, and skilled at delivering information and learnings in a way that fully engages a virtual audience.”
