00:00:00.675 --> 00:00:02.725
When I became a team manager in Devon,

2
00:00:03.055 --> 00:00:05.325
their first global majority team manager,

3
00:00:06.005 --> 00:00:10.405
I got myself an Athena print of Martin Luther King Juniors.

4
00:00:10.845 --> 00:00:14.885
I have a dream that one day from that speech,

5
00:00:15.665 --> 00:00:18.445
and it has been on the walls of the places I've worked in

6
00:00:19.265 --> 00:00:22.605
all of them, it's still on the wall in my home office.

7
00:00:22.865 --> 00:00:27.685
32 years on, I used Martin Luther King's words

8
00:00:28.305 --> 00:00:30.445
at the start and the end of the briefing,

9
00:00:31.705 --> 00:00:33.205
and I finished by saying,

10
00:00:34.375 --> 00:00:37.185
without anti-racist systems leadership,

11
00:00:37.845 --> 00:00:39.665
our global majority leaders

12
00:00:40.245 --> 00:00:44.465
and aspiring leaders cannot be what they ought to be

13
00:00:45.435 --> 00:00:50.025
until all our leaders, including white leaders are

14
00:00:50.045 --> 00:00:51.265
who they ought to be,

15
00:00:52.645 --> 00:00:56.465
and then added Martin Luther King Jr's quotation.

16
00:00:57.485 --> 00:01:02.065
For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be

17
00:01:03.115 --> 00:01:05.465
until you are what you ought to be,

18
00:01:06.685 --> 00:01:11.285
and you can never be what you ought to be until I am

19
00:01:11.395 --> 00:01:12.405
what I ought to be.

20
00:01:14.985 --> 00:01:16.045
We are in this together

21
00:01:16.865 --> 00:01:20.605
and let's bring our humanity into eradicating racism.
