Author Charlotte Shyllon

Charlotte is a senior business professional with nearly three decades’ experience working primarily in communications and business development. Following the killing of George Floyd in 2020, she wrote her first book of poems, Black in White, to share some of her experiences of racism in the corporate world. She then ran a poetry competition for four years to elicit other people’s stories about workplace and childhood racism.
In 2024, she set up The Transforming Words Foundation to expand this work and now uses her diversity and inclusion expertise to bring insight and illumination to these important issues. Charlotte is a British Sierra Leonean and is mum to two adult children.
