Redefining diversity
Diversify World exists to bridge the gap between underrepresented and marginalised communities and the professional world. This is done through knowledge transfer, education, and positive action.
Our story
Diversify World was formed in 2022 by Romain Muhammad after years of working in consultancy and being confronted with the mono-hiring process and workplace culture that did not represent wider society.
Approaches to DEI in corporate spaces are performative rather than impactful. Racism and microaggressions are prominent and allyship is often nonexistent.
The founding mission was to help organisations create diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments, authenticated by lived and corporate experience, business acumen, and a data-led approach.

"I cannot praise Romain Muhammad more for the session he delivered for us on Tuesday to mark the end of our Black History Month. It reinforced for me how history is seen through the eyes of those who report, write and record - something I have always been aware of in relation to gender bias but am ashamed to say I had not thought about it as much (certainly from a UK perspective) in relation to racial bias. It was a brilliant session - and we are impatient for the next instalment."
