  • “Asha took the time to ensure her examples were tailored and relevant to us and included some great actions people could take too. Sharing her own personal story was really powerful. I’d definitely recommend her.”

    Nicola Matthews, UKI Head of Marketing aka Countess of Cocoa, Tony’s Chocolonely

  • “Asha expertly demonstrates how to look below the surface when it comes to working in a team. She communicates in a way that helps educate without being patronising or defensively and talks about topics that can be easily swept under the carpet; that shouldn’t be. Most importantly she gives practical solutions and ways to open conversations that need to happen that we’ve been able to action at Copy Club for the benefit of all.”

    Bee Jones, Head of People, Copy Club

  • "How Asha put together the workshop based on our answers to her questionnaire was brilliant. The understanding I now have is key to what I can implement on the ground. I knew it would be good based on my conversations with Asha beforehand but I was blown away by how valuable it was."

    Andra, Founder and Director, LCC

  • "It was so nice and refreshing to have an authentic and real facilitator. Asha has a strong storytelling ability that can explain data points and bring them to life and I appreciate how she shares her own lived experience. Asha is a leader in this space and I loved everything about her session. The takeaways were so actionable and valuable."

Meet Our Founder

Hello, I’m Asha Harkness (she / her), founder of Indigo Inclusion.

I’m originally from a small (very white) village in Suffolk, UK. I’ve faced a lot of discrimination and exclusion throughout my life and career and have battled anxiety and depression to become a self-accepting and proud queer, Brown woman.

I’m extremely curious…

My life is exciting when I am learning about experiences of people from marginalised communities or stories not usually heard. I’m often found listening, reading, watching and speaking with passion about anything that diverts from the mainstream.

Based on my experiences, which sadly aren’t unique, I created Indigo Inclusion to support real, sustainable change within organisations. So everyone can thrive in the workplace. Especially those who’ve been consistently marginalised.

Some things that bring me joy…

Anything arts-related, queer spaces and outdoor exercise!

Animals (Chief Pug Cuddler in my house), nature and campervan trips.

Podcasts and good coffee.

We all know the moral case for more diversity in the workplace but without equity and inclusion, you risk doing more harm than good.

Creating an inclusive culture is essential for any diverse organisation and is hugely beneficial to your employees’ well-being, productivity, your brand perception and bottom line.

If you want to move forward but aren’t sure where to start, let’s have a chat.

We’d love to speak with you.
