i’m Louise
really great to meet you.
Hi!
18 years experience driving transformational change across inclusion and social cohesion for businesses, charities and in the community.
Let’s work together
I am best known for my ability to make magic happen and most recognisable for my smile.
My journey into the equality, diversity sector started when I was a student, and now over a decade later I have gained a wealth of experience driving culture transformation change across the community, education, charity and corporate sectors with courage, compassion and integrity.
I am a TEDx and keynote speaker, aspiring CEO, multi-award winning equality specialist, and documentary director. Comfortable waltzing from the boardroom to the community - my versatility in leadership makes me the perfect choice to inspire global stages, deliver training consultancy, support you to create sustainable change in your organisation and direct life changing films (credits “Speak Little One” and “Rice At Home”).
I look forward to creating magic together.
using words to Leave a mark
My greatest quality is using words to leave an impact beyond the talk, key note or webinar. In 2022 I delivered at TEDx on mental health and leadership, which echoes my core values of compassion, grace and humanity.
As an experienced public speaker, I curate speeches that touch hearts and minds - with a sprinkle of humour - bringing the audience together through shared connection - and leaving you with the self belief that you can change the world.
I have delivered bespoke EDI consultancy equipping and empowering clients across the UK which have included Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, English UK, Mind, Citizens Advice, and St John's Ambulance.
I am confident in navigating those sticky organisational questions whilst creating a safe environment to ask the questions that really matter.
Everyone wants to deliver inclusive workplaces but not everyone has the tools of how. Let’s work together to make the aspirations in your EDI strategy into a lived reality.
TESTIMONIALs
‘Louise delivered an alumni speech at our graduation ceremony. her enthusiasm, inspiration and communications were top tier. She hit the mark with the brief and having her there at the ceremony certainly enhanced our graduating student’s experience. I would recommend Louise to anyone looking for someone who has in-depth knowledge and experience of diversity and inclusion and who can talk about serious subjects whilst also adding flair and positive energy to her work.’
Rose Adderley, Alumni Engagement Manager, UWE Bristol
“Louise is an exceptionally talented creative who has a powerful voice. She raises the bar with her creative process and brings her incredible point of view, steeped in lived experience. Louise is the very definition of a Powerhouse with her creative practice as a documentary filmmaker and keynote speaker. Her work speaks for itself with sold-out screenings of both her films, Speak Little One and Rice at Home.
Rene Katiisa, Founder of The Library Podcast
“Every detail was thoughtfully executed. We're thrilled with the outcome.”
elevating lived experience through film
I understand the power that seeing yourself reflected on the big screen can have on your sense of self. I accidently fell into filmmaking in 2022 but have since intentionally built a flourishing creative career as a documentary Director and Producer.
I am available to join film production teams on themes of identity, belonging, community and culture.
I am drawn to bold and ambitious film projects that have the bravery to disrupt the status quo. Let’s work together to go from an idea on a napkin to connecting your story to global audiences.
