Div Pillay // How To Break The Bias & Become Part Of The Diversity And Inclusion Solution
Things You Can't Un-HearAbout this episode
Div Pillay is one of those people who has more drive than a Ferrari. She is on a mission to change the way people think, feel and behave when it comes to diversity and inclusion, most specifically race and cultural inclusion. She uses her lived experiences, living under racially segregated apartheid laws & growing up in a dangerous part of South Africa where she survived a 10 hour kidnapping, and relocating into a new community in Australia as a new mum in a country where she was a minority, trying to secure a job where she was truly valued – as experiences that opened her eyes to be able to see what work needed to be done to have better systems and practices that create a more equal workforce and society. “Divanisha” or Div which she now calls herself is the Influential Leader and CEO MindTribes, and the social enterprise Culturally Diverse Women. She is also the Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee at the American Chamber of Commerce, Australia and is a Board Director at VicHealth.In addition to this she the host of the popular and highly rated Business in Colour podcast alongside the phenomenal Sadhana Smiles. I have worked with Div to help her bring many podcasts to life. Including Business In Colour, a Gender Equality Commission podcast & Austrade’s Study Australia Series 1 & 2. Her mission is loud and clear to not only share her voice and other voices on these platforms, but to create change on large scale. If you haven’t heard Div speak before, you are in for a mind shift and an opportunity to create positive change within your life, organisation, workforce and beyond. She’s a force to be reckoned with. Kind, yet powerful. Nurturing, yet strong. Enjoy the changemaker that is, Div Pillay.
