Content warning: discussions around discrimination. While our age shouldn’t matter at work, it seems that however old we are, there are still stereotypes and assumptions that often have a negative effect on us all.

Content warning: discussions around discrimination. Naturally somewhat polarising, religion has long been a topic of conversation that many of us choose to avoid. With our beliefs being such a personal thing, there is perhaps a presumption that discussions around religion will lead to heated debates. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. For the next two episodes, we’re talking to a variety of people about how their faith forms part of their identity, and why it’s important that they’re...

From racially charged attacks, to being the only person of your ethnicity in an entire organisation, to the daily microaggressions that go unseen by so many, we ask the question: how can we all do better?
