A full and buzzing room as @ebananuka introduces #TheProsAwards, the first ever awards for - and judged by - black, Asian, mixed race and ethic minority PR and comms pros. The CIPR is a very proud supporter.

@itskeithriley @CommsConf I have called out these organisers before on a similar conference line up and got told that sourcing speakers from diverse backgrounds was a "priority"...

I want to encourage anyone that has bought a ticket for the @CommsConf to reconsider attending and ask for a refund until such a time as they increase their diversity on the speaker line up. Another white conference, which we just shouldn’t accept!! linkedin.com/posts/keithril…

Riz Ahmed nails it…“where are you really from?”

The CIPR and @PRstarsTB have opened applications for the PR industry’s first BME Reverse Mentoring Scheme. ⭐ Work with senior leaders on understanding challenges ⭐ Support the creation of inclusive cultures ⭐ Drive lasting change in the PR industry ow.ly/uYst50LAPHo

Reverse Mentoring can work if it’s done well. If you are a senior leader from a non-minority background, who is genuinely curious about learning from someone else, & you are happy to invest in mentoring to make it valuable, our scheme could be for you. @140Okay, @SurinderK

If you're committed to improving DE&I in the PR industry and are willing to have open, challenging and non-judgemental conversations, apply to be a mentor or a mentee - applications close 9th Dec! Happy to chat if anyone wants to find out more.

@JRGerlis @140Okay @CIPRdiversity #superstar

Having worked closely with @140Okay I can honestly think of no one more deserving for the Sir Stephen Tallents Medal. Her work leading the @CIPRdiversity Network has been a huge inspiration to many. Congratulations Avril! #CIPRConf22

@FR1NG3 I'm all ears so drop me a line, happy to meet up for a coffee/cake x

@SurinderK Thanks, Surinder. Appreciate you! Getting by, I’ll be alright! Expect a DM if I’m struggling! 😊

Tell you what, life’s card dealers really seem to have dealt me the worst hands all at the same time at the minute

@140Okay the best team ever!

The best teams make the best things! #DiversityandInclusion #Comms #PR

@_MSalhotra thank you and good luck whatever you decide to do!

@_MSalhotra We’re doing it at my mums - my sister wanted to keep it fairly small. She’s also being particular about what she wants 🤓 but some people do hire a venue or do an afternoon tea type of thing - depends on how big or small you want it.

@_MSalhotra I’m organising my sister’s for next wknd - we see it as a nice opportunity for her to see some of her close friends all together in a nice chilled environment before baby arrives. Each to their own! If you do do it, get someone else to organise!

@fionaharvey At @Johnson_Matthey we're developing sustainable technologies that reduce the carbon emissions and environmental impact of chemical factories and production processes. There are some really interesting developments - happy to put you in touch if you want to hear more.

ICYMI - #chemicals one of hardest industries to decarbonise but a huge emitter. However, new report finds it not only possible but profitable: low-carbon chemical industry ‘could create 29m jobs and double turnover’ if companies invest now theguardian.com/environment/20…

Hello! Could you maybe deliver those marmalade sandwiches to people who need them rather than leaving them outside a palace? Thanks.

Tell me it’s nearly back to school time without telling me it’s nearly back to school time #clarks @clarks

@isiscarol14 I feel like we only just had a coffee for when you arrived and unpacked...! Best of luck!

I thought I would get away with silence for a week, but guess not. No, I have not left Bloomberg. I just moved back to the US to take up the role of #Chicago Bureau Chief. It’s great to be back in the city and I look forward to starting work next week. Now back to unpacking.

Felt weirdly quite emotional watching the post match analysis. What an amazing group of women to have as role models for girls all over the country. Well done #lionesses #representationmatters #euro2022
