HOW TO DEAL WITH COMING UP FROM A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD
Rising up from a poor neighborhood. How can you build resilience and the mentality to "Play the cards you're dealt" and not let your circumstances be a barrier to your potential future?
In the episode of the podcast our CEO Lewis Maleh is joined by Joanne Conway, Head of Inclusion & Culture at DLA Piper. Lewis and Joanne dive deep into the complexities of societal expectations and the unique challenges faced by people from low socio-economic backgrounds.
They discuss how being from a poor neighborhood can negatively impact access to education and employment and we explore potential solutions to uplift this demographic.
They also provide an overview of affirmative action plans and the importance of diverse recruitment strategies and their contribution towards a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
