Cicely is a young person to watch. They’re a scholarship winning, TED talk delivering, award receiving activist who also co-founded Vancouver’s local chapter of Black Lives Matter. Building on their experience, Cicely has now turned their attention to the professional sphere. In 2018, they founded Cicely Blain Consulting, an entity that brings ideas borne in activist circles of diversity and inclusivity into the workplace via workshops and long term strategies. But getting to where Cicely is now was a journey. In our conversation we talk about their life growing up a mixed child in their native London and how their search for a place to fit in led them to a life and career dedicated to the advocacy of marginalized people.
