“Joanna is an absolute star — bright, vibrant, and a pleasure to work with.”
We led workshops together across her diversity projects. Joanna brings both lived experience and real expertise to her work, co-producing in a way that is authentic and impactful. She is collaborative, flexible, and easy to work with — even when plans need to shift. I would be very happy to work with Joanna again.

“Joanna’s strength lies in her lived experience, passion, and drive.”
Her work brings a practical and human approach to diversity and inclusion, grounded in real-world understanding. She challenges organisations to think differently while offering clear, actionable ways to improve. Working with Joanna reinforced that meaningful change doesn’t always require large-scale transformation — often, it’s about consistent, thoughtful action.

‘Informative—The content was delivered with a clear understanding of what was expected from the facilitators to help deliver EDI in a concise and meaningful way.
Real—Joanna used real-life experiences in her scenarios to help her understand individual areas that required emphasis in the delivery of EDI.
Knowledgeable – Joanna used her experience and knowledge to help facilitators tackle challenging and difficult questions that may present themselves during delivery, which helped to increase my confidence as a facilitator
Relative—Joanna clearly identified the benefits of EDI to be delivered along with the why, which provoked deep, meaningful thought processes for the facilitators. This encouraged discussion and getting into the details behind the questioning and response.
Overall, the best EDI training I have experienced in my 37 years in policing.
Senior Police Officer, Metropolitan Police

‘Dear Joanna
This is just a personal message to thank you for a well-run, informative session. I joined the MPS in 1982, and this is the first time that someone has explained diversity and inclusion in a way that is relatable and understandable.
My only regret is that we, as an organisation, didn’t get your input so many years ago. Who knows what might have been different?
My very best wishes…’
Metropolitan Police
“An incredibly impactful and thought-provoking session.”

‘She achieved such a huge amount within the Content division in her time as Head of Creative Diversity,: drafting our Creative Diversity plan with input from many of you, which will be an important part of her legacy; helping us deliver this year’s diversity fund commitments; supporting and championing Creative Diversity both inside and outside the BBC; working with suppliers and commissioners across TV, Radio & Music, Children’s & Education, and Sport to deliver training and provide editorial support and advice; not to mention representing the BBC on numerous industry panels and advising on complex diversity issues. Simply brilliant.
On a personal note, Moore said, ‘Jo has been simply brilliant to work with and, along with her team, she has made a real difference to our understanding of what creative diversity means and how we should address it. She is going to be missed by us all, but I very much hope we’ll get to work with her in the future in her consultancy role.’
