Deanna has led Bloomberg’s LGBT+ and Ally Community (BPROUD) London chapter for two years. During this time, she improved Black, Ethnic Minority, and women’s representation on the community’s leadership committee, set up the company’s first LGBT+ mentorship scheme, and launched Bloomberg’s first trans+ allyship training sessions, which was attended by almost 200 employees — including senior leadership. Deanna also participated in several events as a speaker, including last year’s ‘Bloody Difficult Women’ event, which discussed getting more LGBT+ women into politics. The event, which built relationships between women from various parties, later helped in the launch of cross-party campaigns.
