So we set up Diet Paratha Family Tree Mentoring. The programme, which will run for an entire year, aims to unlock opportunity within creative industries around the world while providing guidance and motivation. It pairs candidates of South Asian heritage with culturally competent South Asian mentors. Mentors who have lived-experience in understanding that cultural factors like beliefs, attitudes and behaviours can have an impact in the workplace.
