Annie Gichuru didn't start out intending to become a DEI specialist focusing on supporting coaches and online service providers to lead racially inclusive businesses. However, Annie's rich and diverse lived and learned experience was, in many ways, leading her to this exact opportunity. Having moved from Kenya to Australia to study close to two decades ago Annie found herself in situations she had never experienced in her home country. Having called Australia home for a long time now, she has drawn on her wisdom and determination for more equity in the world to lead high-quality programs and experiences as a phenomenal coach. Shannon and Annie talk about Annie's call to work in the DEI space, her life experiences, and why she is now committed to this work in a big way. They also talk through Shannon's experience of learning with Annie in a number of ways over the last couple of years, including in Annie's signature program Represented. She Leads She Thrives, the podcast for ambitious, ingenious souls hosted by Shannon Dunn of Thrive Factor Co. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode.
