Yasmin Husbands on reshaping leadership and community across corporate and grassroots spaces

In this episode, we sit down with Yasmin Husbands, a senior project manager, empowerment coach, and dedicated inclusion leader at Sky, to explore how she’s reshaping what leadership, belonging, and community look like across both corporate and grassroots spaces. She leads the Black Employee Relations Group at Sky and shares how she’s building real routes to belonging: from championing employee voice and frontline representation, to elevating conversations around mental health within communities of colour, and supporting people through major career transitions with honesty, care, and cultural awareness. In this conversation, Yasmin opens up about navigating identity outside London, balancing softness with ambition, rediscovering her voice through podcasting, and her mission to normalise seeking support, coaching, and mentorship. Expect a warm, honest, and deeply reflective discussion on leadership, courage, community, and what it takes to create spaces where people can truly thrive.
