Three years ago I started at @BusinessInsider as a translation fellow 👀 since then...
I’ve offered helpful insight in videos, establishing that salt tastes like salt I’m also now brace-free and lisp-free
I had help from across the office to set up our DEI forum, dedicated to doing better with diversity, equity, and inclusion at @BusinessInsider UK — particularly from @JournalistFritz, @Hamilbug, @HarrysBadTweets, @MikhailaFriel, @meggiemerc, and others
The forum now has a splinter group for our LGBTQIA+ community 🌈

Very proud of and grateful to @TFGolden and @mrjoshz for running the group + organising cool events... still starstruck from when @Divinadecampo commented on my husky voice 👀👀👀👀
Through the forum, we now have another splinter group dedicated to mental health advocacy, run by the amazing @EsextonBrown — who also helped us to partner with @The_JDF ♥️
The forum has also helped us establish a UK mentorship scheme.

I was paired with the best possible mentor, @shonaghosh. Without her help and guidance (and that of @JournalistFritz and @hayhud) I doubt I’d have got promoted.

I ALSO GOT PROMOTED LAST QUARTER 🤪
Most importantly, I found I can (kind of) play 5-a-side ⚽️ ran an illicit saalan hustle 🍛 made some birthday cakes 🎂beat @HarrysBadTweets in an arm wrestle 💪 and have (with @Hamilbug) probably given @chrlflyd a complex about lunchtime.

It’s been good 👍
