My main motivation is knowing that I am creating an environment where everyone can thrive, be themselves, and feel that their wellbeing is a priority. This is essential for individual happiness and closely aligned with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which emphasises the importance of belonging, esteem, and self-actualisation for personal fulfilment and motivation. In my role, I am committed to spearheading initiatives that promote inclusivity and enhance the wellbeing of our colleagues. By championing inclusive projects, I strive to create an environment where every team member feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents. Through collaborative efforts, we develop projects that celebrate diversity, address unconscious bias, and foster a sense of belonging across the organisation. Whether it's implementing diversity training power hours, establishing & supporting employee network groups, or organising inclusive events, our aim is to create a workplace culture where everyone feels welcome and supported. Moreover, I am deeply invested in fostering the wellbeing of our colleagues. I believe that employee wellbeing is essential for individual happiness and overall organisational success. I support the wider HR teams work to implement initiatives that support mental, physical, financial and social wellbeing, such as a vast range of wellness activities, webinars, a dedicated week of wellbeing focus annually and flexible work arrangements.

As the co-founder of TUI CAN, our Caribbean and African employee network, I was deeply committed to transforming our vision into reality. For Black History Month in October 2023, we aimed to create new black history to be celebrated for years to come. On 11.10.23, this vision came to life with TUI's first-ever flight featuring an all-black flight and cabin crew, from London to Punta Cana. This groundbreaking event showcased the incredible teamwork from colleagues in TUI CAN, our airline teams, handling agents, and our amazing crew on the flight. I was instrumental in coordinating with multiple stakeholders across the business to ensure the flight went ahead as intended, ensuring it was both a celebration and a catalyst for lasting change. Collaborating with leaders from the airline and UK business, I worked tirelessly to make this celebration a success. My dedication, passion, and proactive problem-solving skills were crucial in overcoming obstacles and ensuring the event's triumph. The result was widespread recognition and immense pride within the company. The success of this initiative was highlighted by its incredible social media reach, with over 1 million views within days of sharing the activity. Quotes from TUI CAN network leads and the HR Director of TUI Airline, underscore my contributions. They praised my resilience, positive influence, and commitment to visible representation, noting the lasting impact on the network, the wider business, and the broader context of Black history in the travel industry. My work on the BHM flight exemplifies going above and beyond to create a unique and inclusive environment. These efforts not only highlighted colleagues from black and mixed backgrounds but also inspired the next generation of Captains, First Officers, and Cabin Crew. This historic event, celebrated on social media, has become a pinnacle moment for TUI's commitment to diversity and inclusion.
