Demanding More is THE diversity and inclusion book you need to read.

Sheree Atcheson, Global Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Peakon and ex Monzo, draws on her experience as a young woman of colour in an overly white male tech environment; she lives and breathes the issues she writes about. In Demanding More, she calls out the lack of awareness around privilege, unchecked and unconscious biases and details what intersectionality does to feelings of discrimination and disadvantage.

Increasingly frustrated with the inertia within the industry she decided to shake things up herself by doing something totally radical – setting up her own bank.
