SUPPORTING DIFFERENT FACES TO THRIVE IN DIFFERENT PLACES
Our values
Representation
is key
Good representation increases the cultural capital of the marginalised and drives long term social change.
Authenticity
matters
Harnessing your authentic self makes you a unique commodity that escalates diversity of thought.
Personal
development
Inner work is the key to personal growth. We provide the tools to help clients progress through life’s challenges.
Positive
narrative
Understanding the narrative society places on you helps you to understand your power.
Welcome to my collective!
The Uncommon Collective was born because I was in the "1% club". The 1% black and female voice in every meeting.
After many years of internalising what that meant about my identity and self-worth, I realised there was great power in the diversity of thought that being ‘uncommon’ can bring when you can harness it.
I now lead a collective of black/brown and other marginalised talent who help me showcase what great representation can look like. In our collective we work towards long term societal change.
​
Our vision is simple a fairer employed society for all. We use our stories, knowledge and experience to inspire and coach the next generation of talent. Starting out or mid way in your career this collective provides you with the tools to help you get and build the career you want for yourself.
​
Our mission is simple " To see different faces thrive in different spaces!"

INCLUSION. EMPLOYABILITY. COACHING. COMMUNITY. EVENTS
Welcome to my collective!
What we do
the uncommon collective was born out of the feeling that I was always in the 1% club, the 1% black and female voice in every meeting.
After many years of internalising what that meant about my identity and self-worth, I realised there was great power in the diversity of thought that being ‘uncommon’ brings when we harness it.
The collective is an equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) intervention business. We coach and provide employability training at two pivotal moments in our audiences' lives. During the formative years when early career decisions are being made, and again during mid-life when employees are faced with what to do next.
We centre diverse talent at the heart of our work. We champion diverse stories to inspire others and shift the thinking of not only those within the community but most importantly those outside. With the right support everyone has the potential to create a life for themselves that is true to their values.
Our collective aims to light the spark.

The challenge
What we bring
Diversity and Inclusion facilitation

Coaching and employability projects
We run hands on workshops that look to increase the access and understanding of key industries. Utilising coaching techniques to create a positive impact in education and the workplace.
Community engagement
We aim to bridge the gap between the corporate world and community through a series of in school and out of school partnerships.
