ABOUT US
Felix Diversity Strategists was founded by Vanessa Chikaka in January 2021 to address the challenges around race & retention within the corporate sector in the UK and Germany.
​
As a corporate lawyer of 4 years, Vanessa understands the cultural challenges that ethnic talent face within a predominantly white environment.
​
​
"On average, black & ethnic lawyers leave the firm they trained at two and a half years before their white colleagues. Many leave
the corporate industry as a whole. This is a real problem that we need to address." - Vanessa
OUR VISION
To be a global movement towards better and more inclusive work cultures and environments for black & ethnic talent at corporate organisations.
​
To move from an awareness standpoint to a clear focus and action plan. We want to make retention and support of ethnic talent a priority within corporate organisations in the UK and Germany.
OUR MISSION
To help law firms and corporate organisations retain and support their black and ethnic talent, by offering fun, yet challenging topic-specific pop-up forums and trainings that address the talent's unique challenges.
Creating a safe space to strategise and brainstorm within our forums and alongside our field experts.
