Munroe Bergdorf is a model and activist primarily focused on issues of gender and racial equality. In ‘The Capitalisation of Diversity and Commercialisation of 'Wokeness'’ Munroe asks whether brands can truly be inclusive if their company is not?

In this refreshing and inspiring talk, Munroe clearly lays out how brands can truly become inclusive agents of change. By teasing out what genuine inclusion, diversity and representation really means, Munroe highlights the social and financial pulling power of guaranteeing that diverse bodies are not only represented, but that diverse bodies are in decision making roles.
