I loved being back @Google, speaking at their flagship advertiser event of the year. It’s a huge honour to work the world’s largest brands on their inclusion journeys, making advertising more representative of the whole range of human diversity that exists #GML2022#DreamJob
As a South Asian woman who experiences disability, I know what it feels like to be underrepresented, have your identity sensationalised and experience discrimination due to biases towards all the things that make you who you are. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Not only is cultivating & being inclusive morally the right thing to do, but it will increase your profitability too.
If you’d like any help with your inclusion journey, let’s have a chat shanidhanda.com
Video description: Shani, a South Asian woman with a short stature sitting outside the conference venue, smiling at the camera, with a giant Google Marketing Live sign behind her, on the conference venue. Video shows more outdoor signage ‘this way’ and ‘you have arrived’ signs.
The video continues to show inside the venue, the stage and audience seating area. The video ends with Shani standing on stage underneath a giant screen showing the title of her talk, ‘intersectional inclusion in modern marketing’.

I don’t know why so many people working in wealth management keep requesting to connect and speak with me.
If you work in wealth management, I think you should know:
👉🏽 Nearly half of everyone in the UK that lives in poverty is disabled or lives with a disabled family member.
👉🏽 More than 600,000 disabled people in the UK are estimated to have £10 or less per week to pay for food and other costs.
👉🏽 Disabled people have to pay more to try and live the same lives as non-disabled people, but we have less or no choice due to inaccessibility, ableism and stigmas against us.
