My name is Chikere (pronounced Chee-kay-ray). I am a Culture and Allyship Consultant, Anti-Racism educator, and Inclusive Leadership facilitator with extensive experience in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). My mission is simple: to help organisations build inclusive cultures where Allyship is at the heart of meaningful change. As the founder of Inclucive, I support organisations to move beyond surface-level initiatives and embed allyship, inclusion, and equity into their culture, strategy, and leadership. Through workshops, training, and long-term partnerships, I help companies create workplaces where diverse talent can thrive. I also lead Allyship.co.uk, a community that equips allies to take action on anti-racism and inclusion, and I host the Allyship Book Club, now with over 450 global members, exploring books on race, identity, and equity.
I began this journey after more than a decade working in learning and culture transformation. I saw too many organisations trying to “fix culture” with statements and policies, but ignoring everyday behaviour, human relationships, and systemic design. I realised that real, lasting change needs a different approach
I’m passionate about learning, inclusion and strategy, especially where they overlap – the spaces where cultural change becomes tangible, measurable, and lived. As someone who is neurodivergent and LGBTQ+, I know what it feels like to navigate workplaces that weren’t designed with everyone in mind. I carry my lived experiences and years of expertise, along with the insights of my peers and collaborators, into how I design, facilitate and support leaders and organisations.

Being an openly transgender woman and a trans ambassador, I am on a mission to not only show that it’s OK to be trans, but it’s actually cool to be trans too!
Through my media appearances, public speaking engagements, blog, vlog, social media, trans awareness training courses and via support groups, my aim is to reach out to trans people who may be struggling with their gender identity, to reassure them and to lead by example. I want to help educate the general public too. The more people who are educated about trans issues, the greater the acceptance and the easier it will be for trans people to live their lives in peace. Most bigotry and prejudice comes from ignorance and fear of the unknown. Education can and does save lives. I use a lot of humour in my presentations as I feel if I entertain my audiences, they are more likely to take notice of what I have to say

In 2018 I founded #YesSheCan supported by a Gender Diversity qualification I have grown the business to be at the forefront of women empowerment, particularly in the UK Construction industry. At #YesSheCan we aim to inspire women to take the next step, put themselves forwards and have some underlying self-belief. Our mantra of “she believes, so she leads” is critical to breaking down the gender barriers and ensuring the opportunity landscape is an equal one regardless of gender. Believing is key to this. We work with businesses to drive their D&I strategy which encapsulates training, focus groups and culture change. Everyone has a responsibility to support change, we work with businesses to find the best way of them to tap into this to truly support long-lasting culture change
