Bio
Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman
Michele is a brilliant and powerful equity, inclusion and diversity practitioner. Her understanding and application of inclusion and anti racism policies and practice are sophisticated and yet practical, applicable to all levels of organizations including leadership. Working with her I found her to be incredibly articulate (critical in this field), kind, incredibly affable and passionate. Michelle uses all these skills to help solidify relationships and excel at transformation leadership.
