Welcome to REPRESENTED, the podcast.
This is your weekly dose of inspiration that’ll support you to build a racially inclusive online business without letting the fear of getting it wrong get in the way.

I’m Annie Gichuru, your host as well as a Racial Equity Coach who supports online business owners such as coaches, course creators, membership owners and group program facilitators. It’s my calling in nature and ability to break-down complex and often uncomfortable conversations around race that has seen me teach over 100 online business owners to be more racially inclusive through my online program REPRESENTED.
Be sure to subscribe, rate and review so this podcast can reach more online business owners and begin to not only normalise racial inclusion in the online coaching space but see us actively shift our perspectives.

96. The Leader Unwritten Ft. Premila Jina
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I believe today's conversation is one that many women of colour will feel in their body and not just in their mind.
I’m joined by Premila Jina, a global leader, speaker and inclusive leadership consultant whose journey has taken her from India to Kenya, through eighteen years in London’s high-pressure corporate world and now to Perth, where she leads her own consultancy and supports women to move from invisible to invincible.
Premila and I talk about what happens when you spend years learning how to “fit in” and still find yourself judged against a leadership standard that was never made with you in mind. We speak about the subtle, everyday ways workplaces silence women of colour and the courage it takes to self-advocate in a bid to make strides.
This is a conversation about the long, often exhausting work of choosing yourself in systems that benefit from a culture of silence.
In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about:
- The hidden rules women of colour are expected to follow in order to be seen as “professional”
- Why speaking up can feel fearful, even when harm is obvious
- How accent, tone and “being corrected” can become a form of control
- The difference between getting more qualifications and building the skills that actually help you move forward
- How Premila is creating a different path forward for women of colour through her work and her program Rise and Radiate.
If you've been editing yourself to survive or have been told leadership has a certain look, sound or tone, this episode will show you a different side, the leader unwritten.
