🎙️ Podcast Episode 22 — Tomi Ayede

The SJW Show Podcast returns with another powerful and thought-provoking conversation as Jasmine Cannon-Ikurusi sits down with award-winning DEI professional, spoken word artist, and founder Tomi Ayede.

In this deeply honest episode, Tomi shares her journey through identity, grief, belonging, culture, advocacy, and equity. From leading inclusion work within major institutions to using spoken word as a tool for healing and storytelling, this conversation explores what it truly means to create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Tomi currently works within Diversity, Equity and Inclusion leadership at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and is the founder of Made2BMore. Recognised with the DEI Rising Star Award and nominated for the BPIC Inspiring Diversity Champion Award, her impact continues to inspire communities across the UK and beyond.

Together, Jasmine and Tomi unpack:
• Identity and belonging within the diaspora
• Grief and healing through storytelling
• Equity and representation in leadership spaces
• The power of lived experience
• Advocacy, inclusion and community impact

This is more than a podcast episode. It is a conversation about humanity, resilience, purpose and using your voice to create change.
