Carole Cooper

South Africa apartheid protestor since 15 years of age and a continued advocate for women

Carole has spent her entire life challenging what isn’t fair and right.

Growing up in South Africa during the apartheid years, she protested against apartheid at the young age of 15.

Her passion and belief that no matter your race, religion or belief system, everyone should be treated with dignity and respect has led her to continue to challenge, change and implement what is right and just for women.

Carole will give you practical ways on how to implement change in your organisation that not only advocates for diversity, inclusion and equality but actually delivers outcomes.

She is passionate about challenging gender bias and inequality and believes in the power of education, empowerment and ensuring that it is not a “tick the box” for organizations but sustainable change.
