Article

The speakers include Baroness (Oona) King, diversity executive at Channel 4, and radio and TV presenter DJ Nihal who caused waves beyond the conference with his vocal criticism of racial 'silos' at the BBC's music stations, and his concerns about the wider cultural change that still needs to be fought for.
