Can you imagine what it must have been like in South African corporate board rooms when apartheid was lifted and a new political order started to rule over the country? Diversity, inclusion, and equity didn’t come about as if by magic. Brave, and sometimes unwilling activists have to take active steps to make it happen. Zeona Jacobs has seen her fair share of this DEI struggle in her corporate roles. In this episode, she shares how she and a small group of black African men and women bandied together and became unwilling activists in a conservative, large, white dominated corporate environment in a company still struggling to come to terms with a democratic, free South Africa. She also tells us why President Mandela called her courageous at a large televised public event. Tune in and learn a ton from today’s bold leader!
