Listen on

Episode notes

As a determined activist, Sophie Williams is pioneering the anti-racism movement by sharing her advice on how to actively become involved and aware! Having written two insightful books published by Harper Collins, ‘Anti Racist Ally’ and ‘Millennial Black’ (April 2021), Sophie is working to educate and inform people on anti-racism.
 
And her work doesn’t stop there - she is a regular speaker, consultant and workshop facilitator for the movement, along with writing publications appearing in the likes of The Guardian, Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan UK and Grazia UK.
 
Her activism is even here to inform the corporate world as Sophie has worked with companies such as Apple, Sky and University of Cambridge to name a few.
 
When Sophie left her successful advertising career as a COO in 2019, she started getting to work on projects with huge clients like Netflix, setting out to combine her traditional advertising experience with her passion for activism against anti-racism - and she’s done an incredible job!
