It seems that when I spotted an ad for a new BBC post, Director of Diversity and Inclusion, last week, it only unveiled half of the structural change. June Sarpong, the part-time Director of Creative Diversity is leaving, after the move of her minder, Bob Shennan into BBC Studios.
Her appointment was unveiled in October 2019 - a month later, Lord Hall included her on his executive board, reaching his self-set target of two BAME members.
We're now briefed that it was a two year contract, apparently extended last November, and an exact date for June's leaving has not been announced.
I thought I'd share a little bit about my NYE ritual.I stopped doing NY Resolution lists a long time ago and instead do Dissolution Lists, these are the beliefs, ideas and things I want to leave behind in order to usher in something new.
