As a Black leader (and advertising legend), Trevor Robinson OBE the founder of Quiet Storm, says that he’s never had a verbally racist comment about his skin colour or told he should not be at the table. “But since I've been running my own company you see people look surprised when they come in and they realise that you're Black and you've got dreadlocks," he adds.
The managing director of Saatchi & Saatchi London, Sarah Jenkins, echoes that people often have preconceptions on how someone in her position should look.
