Jimi Okubanjo is the director and producer of “Arise Firebird” documentary. Jimi worked in the corporate setting for many years before creating her own film about workplace trauma. She, and many others, have been affected by the traumatic experiences that take place in workplace settings that often go unnoticed, uncared for, or brushed away. In her talk “Understanding and supporting others with workplace trauma”, Jimi encourages us to learn more about trauma in the workplace and how to take action to help those who experience it. Across her 20-year career working in leadership roles with Global Fortune 100 corporations, Jimi Okubanjo delivered transformations in 14 countries and four continents with over 200 leaders.

Jimi produced the documentary film ARISE FIREBIRD due to her deep multi-industry experience and her first-hand knowledge of what senior and experienced female leaders of color often face in the workplace. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
