Let’s be real – great ideas come from seeing things from every angle. For Black History Month, we caught up with three early-career colleagues in London: Fara, Nathaniel, and Tamilore. They shared their journeys, thoughts on inclusion and how being their authentic selves has shaped their experience at �۶���Ƶ.

For Tamilore, “It’s about making sure Black contributions are visible and valued, empowering future generations to pursue their ambitions with confidence.”

For Fara, it’s a time to reflect and celebrate those who’ve shaped the society we enjoy today. “It’s about learning from the past to affirm our vision for the future and finding ways to make meaningful contributions.”

Tamilore admires Usain Bolt – not just for his speed, but his discipline. “Sprinting allows little to no margin for error, yet he consistently delivered. His career is a reminder that sustained excellence demands discipline and dedication.”

Fara, recalls a moment that stuck: “On my first day, I was astounded to hear my colleague pronounce my Yoruba name perfectly and discuss its meaning. It was a small detail to them, but it instantly reassured me that I was in the right place.”

Nathaniel shares that growing up in a large Nigerian family shaped his appreciation for learning through community “an environment where collaboration and authenticity become catalysts for innovation. This ethos continues to shape how I work at �۶���Ƶ today.”

Tamilore adds, “Working in a collaborative and supportive team makes everything more enjoyable and productive.”

Mentorship is huge for all three. Tamilore credits his manager for opening doors: “My line manager has been instrumental in my growth. Sharing tips, increasing my exposure and aligning opportunities with my interests.”

Nathaniel says, “I’ve grown in a space where curiosity and experimentation drive learning. Engaging with diverse perspectives has sharpened my core skills, and my manager’s mentorship – rooted in trust, clarity, and technical depth – has shaped how I build, scale, and collaborate.”

Fara shouts out Victor Viramontes, AI Crew Technical Lead in our Tech division: “Victor goes above and beyond to support junior talent. His commitment is a testament to the culture of inclusive leadership at �۶���Ƶ.”

Fara’s story is especially powerful: “During my job search, my mum worried about my dreadlocks and earrings. She thought I wouldn’t be seen as ‘professional.’ She couldn’t have been more wrong. Since joining, every day proves that authenticity and professionalism go hand in hand.”

Giving back is a common thread. Fara is active in employee resource groups and advocates for inclusion. Nathaniel mentors young people: “If I can help someone feel seen or more confident, I know I’m doing something worthwhile.” We support community initiatives that empowers employees to make a difference, inside and outside the firm.
