In this powerful episode of A Leader Like Me, we speak with Janelle Benjamin—award-winning DEI consultant, founder of All Things Equitable, and LinkedIn Top Voice—about her journey from workplace mistreatment to building an influential consultancy rooted in justice and inclusion.
Janelle opens up about life beyond the title: a dedicated single mum, a quiet changemaker, and a passionate learner committed to creating safer, more inclusive workplaces. She shares how her legal background sharpens her strategic lens and why humility, curiosity, and continuous learning are essential for truly inclusive leadership.
We explore:
- What real inclusion looks like beyond policy and posters
- The emotional cost of exclusion—and the power of turning pain into purpose
- How her legal training helps her spot risks others miss
- Practical steps for those who want to lead inclusively, even when DEI is being scaled back
- The power of connection, community, and shared accountability in driving cultural change
Whether you’re just starting your inclusion journey or you’re deep in the work, Janelle’s story will leave you inspired, challenged, and ready to act.
