Esie Mensah told a story through her voice and an emotional dance performance that was life-changing for our delegates, both professionally and personally…

Following her keynote speech, a room full of influential players in the Insights industry felt collectively compelled to rethink their positions as researchers and understood a higher responsibility to be inclusive of underrepresented perspectives in the pursuit of long-denied truths."
