The Equity Activists

Equity. The quality of fairness. From Rosa Parks to Malala Yousafzai, over centuries brave people have stood up for social equity and sparked change. Every day we can shape a fairer society: on our projects, in our workplaces, with our colleagues, when we’re hiring, and when we are designing. But how do you see and seize the opportunities for social equity?

Find out from three inspirational figures working in different fields: the Social Entrepreneur, the Comedian, and the HR expert. Each has turned their lived experiences into inspiring new realities. Join us to discover what they have in common as they share their journeys.
