Hannah Litt Ltd

At the heart of profound change is a transformative journey requiring courage, resilience, and a commitment to dismantling barriers and fostering true inclusivity. As a leader in Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Antiracism, I bring a passionate activist perspective to corporate settings. Every day, we face the harsh realities of intersecting religious and racial injustices, particularly among marginalised groups such as intersectional Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ communities. I am dedicated to inspiring and guiding organisations to create a culture that values and celebrates diversity, unity, and collective healing.

Recognising the need for compassionate, judgment-free spaces, my mission is to support you with empathy and understanding to cultivate an inclusive corporate environment where every individual feels respected and valued. Despite organisational efforts, systemic biases persist, and leaders must prioritise accountability to dismantle these barriers. My role is to collaborate with you as both a leader and activist, advocating for inclusive policies and fostering empathy among stakeholders. Together, we can drive sustainable change that enriches corporate culture and promotes societal equity and justice.

As a senior leader within a anti-racism technology organisation working with corporate clients, leading EDIA, Resourcing, Wellbeing and Communities, Outreach and Marketing and Comms,  I have successfully integrated strategic initiatives and antiracism diversity, inclusion, intersectionality, and technology approaches into their businesses to create better outcomes.

Supporting the technology industry. I work closely with corporate clients to develop and implement bespoke solutions through people processes and technology that address systemic racism and promote equity. This includes conducting intersectional anti-racism training for all levels of employees offering bespoke solutions and also consulting services. By fostering a culture of antiracism and actively engaging in conversations around race and racism, we can create inclusive environments that dismantle barriers and foster equal opportunities.

In addition to antiracism, I also prioritise intersectionality in my work.  This includes creating spaces for open dialogue, implementing inclusive policies and practices, and providing resources and support tailored to the unique needs of different intersectional identities, including understanding unique barriers that are in place. 

Working with clients and internal employees to understand the significant impact that technology has on society and the potential it holds to either reinforce or challenge existing biases and inequalities. As a technology-focused leader, I advocate for the ethical and responsible use of technology, ensuring that it does not perpetuate discrimination or harm marginalised communities. I actively promote antiracism & diversity and inclusion in tech product development, data collection and analysis, and algorithmic decision-making processes. By integrating an intersectional and accessible lens into technology, we can create products and systems that are more inclusive, equitable, and beneficial for all users.

Award Winning JEDI (Justice,Equity, Diversity & Inclusion)UK Top 100 Influential Muslims 2022 | Resourcing Leader | Anti Racism | Neurodiversity| Islamaphobia | Wellbeing | Mindweaver

Hey, I'm  Hannah, 

I’m an award-winning resourcing EDI and social impact consultant and a seasoned leader in justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism. My purpose-driven journey has been fueled by a commitment to creating positive change. My experience spans industries such as Automotive, Construction, Retail, Financial Services, and Technology, where I’ve worked with some of the largest organisations and dynamic start-ups. My unique approach to antiracism and decolonisation drives transformation wherever I go.

As a South Asian, Muslim woman from the East African diaspora with ADHD, OCD, and hidden disabilities, I combine lived experiences with strategic knowledge in people-led functions and employee experience. I am committed to making the workplace more inclusive and equitable for neurodivergent people of the Global Majority by creating awareness and driving change in systems where they are most impacted but often excluded from the conversation.

I’ve featured and contributed to books, podcasts, panels, and keynotes on intersectional neurodiversity, disability antiracism, and inclusive workplace cultures. Today, I am excited to be working on my debut book and preparing to launch my eagerly awaited podcast.


I offer direct, transparent guidance grounded in social justice principles through my organisation Hannah Litt Ltd.

No-one wants to get “it” wrong when talking about Neurodiversity..

 But what does “it” really mean? And how do you get “it” right?

 

Organisations are often cautious and concerned about getting it wrong when it comes to neurodiversity awareness for several reasons:

* Inclusivity and Respect: 

* Legal and ethical obligations 

* Employee wellbeing and productivity 

* Talent acquisition and retention 

* Public perception & reputation 

* Lost innovation and creativity 

* Missed business opportunities 

* Training and resources 

* Change management challenges 

* Lack of knowledge 

What does this mean to you? 

By failing to address these concerns, organisations risk alienating a significant portion of their workforce, missing out on unique perspectives, and suffering public backlash. This could further lead to decreased productivity, high turnover rates, and potential missed business opportunities.

So why work with Matt?

 

Matt is a professional neurodiversity awareness consultant who brings a blend of research-based knowledge and lived experience to the table. By doing so, you benefit from expert guidance that is both academically sound and personally informed. Matt provides insights that go beyond textbook knowledge, ensuring a holistic understanding of neurodiversity.

The combination of these perspectives ensures a comprehensive approach, bridging theory with real-world applications, and offers a genuine representation of the neurodiverse community. This will result in a more inclusive, empathetic, and effective organisational approach to 
neurodiversity.


Matt is a respected Professional Speaker, Consultant, Trainer and a Mentor to individuals with ADHD and autism.

He lives and breathes understanding of neurodiversity and will inspire and motivate others to want to do the best they can to support Neurodivergent people.

Neurodiversity Awareness Trainer

 thinkneurodiversity.com & mattgupwell.com 

I'm a keynote speaker and professional advocate on the topic of Neurodiversity Awareness. I'm available to speak at events and train your organisation in person or virtually.

I focus on WHY full understanding of Neurodiversity and Neurodivergent conditions is vital for all organisations.

 I start by focusing on the real commercial benefits in terms of reduction of time taken off sick by employees who reach breaking point. 

To achieve this I use lived experience, researched information and statistics that help explain what needs to be done, how it needs to be done and why no organisation can afford not to.

My keynote talk is brutally honest, engaging and filled with humour and lived was experience. It also ends by asking everyone present to commit to taking positive action to be more Neurodivergent aware.

My work as a consultant and trainer is similarly focussed.

I believe that unless the starting point is by showing clients what the real impact on their organisation is of not having the correct knowledge that there is no context with which they can make decisions about how to do things better.

I use a combination of the most up to date research, humour and over a decade of presentation and training experience to ensure the training I deliver exceeds expectations and has actionable benefits from day 1.

Yesterday I trialed a new structure and new content for the online Introduction to Neurodiversity Awareness in work training course I deliver monthly for GovPD 

I've been paying attention to the questions I hear from delegates time and again, to the thing they arrive believing they need to understand and to the influence that content on social media has on both the people wanting to understand how to support neurodivergent people and those diagnosed or identifying as neurodivergent in the workplace. 

Develivering a full day 9:30 - 4:00pm of training, information and advice is a big task. 

Interestingly aside from the comments I'm sharing here which I almost missed as I was wrapping up the course I was told 2 other things. 

One from a delegate who'd missed some content due to a meeting who I spent time with after the course who said 


"I'll be honest the thought of a full day, online, listening to something talk about neurodiversity didn’t fill me with excitement. But the day has flown by, your energy and delivery have been professional and full of energy,from start to finish and how you manage to engage everyone is incredible". 


The other comment came from my wife who often hears me delivering sessions while she studies who said 

"I don't know what's changed but you sound like you again, it's really nice to hear"


So what changed?

• I delivered a course that:

• aligned to my style 

• was evidence and real world scenario based

• that spoke to the reality of the topic in the workplace for all

• that didn't focus on labels, condition definitions or spotting symptoms or behaviours

• that helped people understand what the experience of being neurodivergent in work can feel like

• that spoke about why late diagnosis can and frequently does change lots and how to understand snd navigate that

• but crucially one that without judgement, blame or accusation have people the understanding and tools to feel like they know how to support colleagues better.


I am proud to say and I firmly believe that there's not another course on the same topic being delivered today that is like mine.

Delivered in the way I am able to.


There's only one way for you to know if that's correct though. 


If you're considering training on this subject book a call to see how I'll tailor this course to your organisation and why there're will be nothing generic about it.


(p.s. the same applies to my keynote talks and other services - Noone does it like me)
