June Sarpong

June Sarpong MBE (born 31 May 1977) is one of the most recognisable British television presenters and broadcasters. She’s also the co-founder of the WIE Network (Women:Inspiration and Enterprise).

Her book, Diversify, is an intelligent and empowering polemic which argues the case for how limited we are by social division while inspiring us to make a change.

Working with Professor Anthony Heath, Head of the Centre for Social Investigation at Nuffield College, Oxford University, in Diversify June Sarpong considers how we create and use stereotypes, and how they negatively impact our social interactions both overtly and covertly. Using personal anecdotes, referencing stories of success, and by introducing the “Ism Calculator”, Diversify encourages readers to calculate their levels of discriminative views and limiting beliefs that they can challenge or possibly conquer as they the complete six steps.
