The Grammys viral moment / Mamobo Ogoro on why diversity and inclusion matters

America might be rowing back on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, but one woman who is fighting to keep interculturalism at the forefront of people’s minds is Mamobo Ogoro, the CEO of Irish social enterprise GORM. 

Ogoro is a Nigerian-Irish Social Psychologist and multi-award-winning social entrepreneur, who is “on a personal mission to unify the world”. Through her work with GORM, she helps organisations in Ireland and around the world develop intercultural leaders. In this episode, Ogoro talks to Róisín Ingle about growing GORM from an idea into a movement, how she works to bridge the gap between diversity and inclusion and how she’s become Ireland’s first Echoing Green Fellow. 

But first, Irish Times podcast producer Aideen Finnegan is here to discuss some of the biggest stories from the week, including a dramatic fashion statement at the Grammys, the sexual assault trial taking place in Spain over that infamous World Cup kiss and how Ireland’s ambassador to the USA, Geraldine Byrne Nason, is running diplomatic relations in the Trump era.
