Sellisha is a DEI Consultant, activist, and social justice advocate with a lifelong commitment to making the world a better place. Inspired by her own experiences as a working class, mixed-raced girl growing up in a single parent family and witnessing injustice, she's dedicated her career to fostering environments where individuals and organisations can truly thrive.

Her passion for intersectional healing was ignited through personal experiences of workplace discrimination and the impact it had on her mental health. These challenges revealed a crucial gap in traditional support systems, such as Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), which often fail to address the nuanced realities of minoritisation. This realisation fuelled her drive to co-found the Intersectional Healing Collective (IHC), where she helps organisations become more progressive and supports minoritised individuals to flourish. 

Sellisha began her social justice journey at University and in 2016 she became an activist with the Women’s Equality Party, where she founded and chaired the Party’s Race Equality Caucus and served on its Steering Committee. This experience sharpened her focus on intersectionality, gender, race, disability, and LGBTQ+ rights. Passionate about anti-discrimination, over the past eight years, she's worked on DEI in the UK and Japan, partnering with a variety of organisations to create lasting cultural change and promote equity on both systemic and individual levels. 

With over a decade of DEI and culture transformation experience, Anna has worked as a Global Managing Consultant and Director in consultancies, tech scale-ups, and non-profits. Her intersectional approach to empowerment is inspired by her lived experiences and a deep-seated passion for fostering real change. When leading global initiatives aiming to promote both personal and collective transformation through strategies and programs that weren't rooted in real vulnerability and authenticity, Anna realised that there was a burning need for holistic effort. Their work addresses the nuances of gender, sexual orientation, race, disability, neurodiversity and social mobility; linking sustainable goals into equitable change management, social justice and personal development.

By fostering dialogue and meaningful connections to bridge gaps between different communities, Anna hopes to inspire collaboration, inclusion and belonging in global contexts. She is committed to raising awareness, facilitating meaningful conversations, sharing space and stories, and supporting individuals and organisations in their transformation journeys towards sustainable, positive impact.
