The Hidden Resume with Nadia Bob-Thomas

In this episode of The Organisational Inclusionist, I sit down with Nadia Bob-Thomas, Head of DEI (Public Sector), for a powerful conversation about the challenges and realities Black women face in professional spaces.
Nadia introduces the concept of the 'hidden resume'—the unspoken, often unseen work Black women do to navigate workplace dynamics and progress in their careers.
We explore lived experiences, the impact of insufficient allyship, and how proactive mentorship can transform careers and workplaces alike. This episode is real, raw, and necessary.
If you care about understanding barriers, supporting Black professionals, and creating truly inclusive spaces, download, like, and share this one. Trust me, you’ll leave with insights you didn’t know you needed.
