In this diary entry Balve sat down (virtually) with Lara and Sharmin from the BBC’s 50:50 Equality Project. The project is committed to inspiring and supporting the BBC and organisations around the globe to consistently create journalism and media content that fairly represents our world.

Lara has more than ten years of experience producing content for domestic, international and digital news outlets, with a particular focus on underserved audiences.

Sharmin works with all of the BBC’s 50:50 teams to support their push to increase representation across content. She also works in Resourcing and Talent within the corporation.

They talk about the future of diversity and equality, Lewis Hamilton and collaborating with global news outlets. Enjoy!
