So, back to episode 6 of this glorious season...

Our guest is Rebbecca Hemmings, a leading voice in cultural awareness, inclusion, and the power of language to create meaningful change.

Rebbecca is the founder of Strawberry Words, a dynamic training and consultancy company that specialises in helping individuals and organisations navigate difficult conversations around race, identity, and inclusion with confidence and compassion. With a background in public speaking, performance, and education, she brings a unique blend of creativity, candour, and care to her work.

Through her workshops, keynotes, and consultancy, Rebbecca helps people explore unconscious bias, challenge assumptions, and develop the tools needed to create truly inclusive environments. She is deeply passionate about the power of words, the importance of visibility, and the need for safe spaces where people can be honest, heard, and respected.

We talk to Rebbecca about the significance of cultural awareness, how to approach challenging conversations with empathy, why language matters more than we think, and how we can each play a role in creating a more equitable world. It's a chat that covers a lot of ground, and left both of us inspired and with a renewed energy to learn. We're sure Rebbecca will have the same effect on you. Enjoy!

Added to all that, there are 2 sketches and a chat about chatting - tricky chatting. Get stuck in and let us know how you get on!
