Meet the Founder
Adese Okojie Chartered Fellow CIPD
Adese established BWHR in June 2019 out of her own personal experiences as a Black woman navigating her career in the United Kingdom.
The BWHR tribe has developed from a networking platform to a strong force through supporting its community with education, empowerment and recruitment. BWHR has mentored about 100 Black women in Human Resources and empowered more than 20,000 Black professionals in HR through their monthly masterclass and knowledge sharing since January 2021.
In addition to leading our strategy, Adese is a senior HR leader, a Non Executive Board member and a strong advocate for equity, diversity and inclusion. Adese achieved an empowerment award nomination for her role in the career development of Black women in HR from Nations of Women in 2021 and most recently was celebrated as one of the top 50 women around the world by Powerhouse global magazine.
In her spare time, she volunteers at her local Church as a Sunday School Teacher, attends music concerts, researches something new, and travels the world to discover new cultures. She believes that a strong community with purpose will overcome barriers.
Her vision is to empower Black professionals in HR globally through her voice and platform to connect and win with intention!
