"You can't be what you don’t see. That’s why representation is everything to me — in business, in media, in leadership. I grew up in East London not seeing many people who looked like me doing what I wanted to do.
That didn’t make me less ambitious, but it meant I had to imagine myself into places I’d never seen someone like me occupy. Now, I’m building companies where everyone sees themselves reflected — not as a quota, but as a value."
— Emma Grede
