We're really excited to bring you answers to your questions from Kike Oniwinde, founder of the BYP Network. The BYP stands for "Black Young Professionals" and it is a platform with tens of thousands of members across the globe. It provides a social network, professional development opportunities podcasts and blogs to ensure that there is a future where black people can see themselves represented in all industries.
We'll let Kike introduce herself...
How were you inspired to create/found the BYP network?
decisive_redcurrant, Michael Faraday School
As a young person... follow your journey, be aware and take things in and be ambitious. Research in advance about the skills you need to succeed and then know that you can be anything - you can make the world what you want it to be.

How did you gain your confidence to speak out about what you want to change in the world?
modest_river, New Horizons Children's Academy
I was always that person who had something to say, who wasn't afraid to be a bit of a leader and challenge an idea.

Have you ever faced difficulties at work because of the colour of your skin?

How would you like people of colour to be treated in the future at work?

Does salary discrimination between people of different skin colour exist?

You guys are the future - you can write letters and you can campaign to make sure the government looks into the ethnicity pay gap.

Has your ethnicity or the colour of you skin ever affect the way people look at you and have you ever been inspired by the things people have done to inspire you .

What is your motivation when you do your job?

Something I learnt from Kiki is that you need to persist with what you are doing and without persisting and working hard the thing you are trying to change wont change. This is shown by Kiki when she kept on persevering to have equal ethnicity pay and is slowly making progress. Thank you for the inspiring words you said and keep on persisting with your goal to have equal ethnicity pay.
