Are you a neurodivergent girl, like me, in a corporate world? They say that entrepreneurship is the key to succeeding for dyslexic people, but that doesn’t mean us corporate 9-5ers don’t exist too. If you prefer the thought of a 9-5, you’re not alone. But here’s how you get ahead in a world set up by neurotypicals.

All about the Benjamin-Z

In tribute to Benjamin Zephaniah, Jannett will share tips and strategies from her upcoming book “Young, Gifted, Dyslexic and Black”.

  • Meet one of the leader speakers on neurodiversity and race
  • Sneak preview of my upcoming book
  • Promotional offer for attendees

This is a session for anyone interested in the intersection of neurodiversity and race, including:
- people of African heritage who are 'neurodivergent' (or could be)
- their families and friends
- educators
- specialist workplace coaches
- wellbeing professionals
- neurodiversity organisations and membership bodies
- employers

At the end of 2023, the world lost one of its leading lights in Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah. A writer, creative and activist, Benjamin inspired people the world over to be authentic, stand up against injustice and show compassion.

Benjamin was dyslexic and grew up in the UK at a time when overt racism was rife. Despite the barriers he faced, he went on to achieve at the highest level and became a role model to many for his courage and creativity.

In my work as a neurodiversity tutor and coach, I have worked with people of all backgrounds. I have come across many "Benjamins", whose learning and cultural needs have been ignored because Neurodiversity and Race was not something being discussed. I will be explaining why and sharing how my upcoming book "Young, Gifted, Dyslexic and Black" is there to give hope and practical ways for all those Benjamins to shine.
