ABOUT BAGAMOYO
Lay down your heart
Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a strong pull towards Africa. My grandfather moved there in the 1940's and some of my cousins were born there, it holds a special place in my heart.
​
Bagamoyo is a town in Tanzania and it means 'lay down your heart' in Kiswahili. At first glance, this seems fitting for a human centred consulting practice. But what intrigues me more is that there are different interpretations to its meaning. One refers to the traders that passed through, relieved to put down their heavy loads, another relates to the abandonment of hope, due to the town’s role in slave trade. There is more than one way to look at things.
​
My career as an inclusion, diversity and belonging consultant has taught me the valuable skill of being able to see all sides of a situation, to seek truth, understanding and compassion, without judgement. Supporting businesses and leaders to create the optimum working environment, where everyone feels included.
​
I established my business to lead with purpose and help others to do the same.
