WHO WE ARE

Welcome to Educate with Diversity, a pioneering platform dedicated to fostering inclusivity, equity, and diversity in education.

Educate with Diversity was founded by Audrey Sebastiao, an award-winning DEI leader, educator, jurist, and author. Audrey has worked across three continents—Africa, Europe, and the USA—gaining insights into different teaching styles and perspectives. Working with diverse people in these different regions, combined with her own experiences as a minority educator, has inspired her to champion change. This has led her to create innovative strategies and resources that address the unique challenges faced by diverse student populations.

” My journey is defined by a commitment to fostering inclusive narratives and leveraging my multilingual proficiency to bridge cultural gaps in global contexts. I strive to empower diverse voices through extensive experience in marketing, education and DEI initiatives.”
