How important are awards in promoting diversity and inclusion, especially in sectors like tech?

Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon in the world”. Awards are a way to educate, share, and change mindsets; they’re a great medium to help tackle the industry’s diversity deficit and promote inclusion.

If you were to win an award yourself, perhaps for a secret talent, what would it most likely be?

My secret talent, like a lot of people this year, was definitely being able to work full-time and school children at home!
