I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Director Financial Crime Transformation at NatWest Group!

"Football is a vehicle for them to show [racism] but it is not just an issue in football, it is an issue in society. "Until we start to challenge it, it will exist in all walks of society." John Barnes quote These young men not only face racism while they play the game, they face racism everyday outside of the game. #football #antiracism

Today is a great day! The glass ceiling has shattered. First female, First South Asian, First Black American VP. As a woman who has been told "no" and to "stay in my lane" countless times - this day is one that brings a lot of HOPE for the future. Little girls will see Vice President, Kamala Harris and know they, too, are capable of achieving their dreams. #kamalaharris #biden #women #hope #future #inspiration Rhianna Padman

Powerful photo. Kamala’s hard-earned place as the first South Asian, Black and female Vice President, is a beacon of hope. My favourite Kamala quote “What I want young women and girls to know is: You are powerful and your voice matters. You're going to walk into many rooms in your life and career where you may be the only one who looks like you or who has had the experiences you've had. But you remember that when you are in those rooms, you are not alone. We are all in that room with you applauding you on. Cheering your voice. And just so proud of you. So you use that voice and be strong.” We now have Kamala as an inspirational role model for the children of today and tomorrow to look up to, don’t let anyone tell you, you are not good enough. Super proud as a South Indian, role models matter. #kamalaharris #women #inspiration Rhianna Padman

#MYNameIs Subha, if you can say sugar you can say Subha. How relatable is this for people of colour, growing up with mispronunciation. Your name is your identity. Our names matter. My go to explanation is say sugar and replace the g with a b. Ask me how you pronounce it, you may get it wrong and that’s ok, just don’t avoid saying my name. Don’t tell me it’s spelt wrong. It’s disrespectful. If you can say Tchaikovsky you can say my name.

My journey as Santander UK Lead mentor, for Business in the Community mentoring circle comes to an end. I’ve enjoyed the past 9 months mentoring this group of highly talented individuals. The journey began f2f to adapting to the new norm of virtual zoom meetings. I have learned just as much as the mentees and have no doubt this group of talented individuals will excel in whatever they choose to do or be. Olumide Ogunbadewa Natasha K.
