5 DEI Myths Busted by a Former Police Officer

Welcome to The Online Prosperity Show, and I'm your host, Prosper Taruvinga,

where we bring you transformational stories and expert insights to help you create a business and life that's meaningful, profitable, and joyful.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by someone who has truly walked the walk. From a 30-year career in British policing to now standing boldly at the forefront of diversity, equity, and inclusion—Marcia Ore brings more than a powerful CV. She brings lived experience, grit, and an unshakable belief in justice. Oh—and did we mention she once rocked the mic in a '60s soul band while pregnant? Talk about commanding a stage!

Marcia is the founder of Marcia Ore Consultancy and co-director of Women In The Shade, where she helps individuals and organisations unlearn bias, create inclusive cultures, and build workplaces where everyone belongs. But it wasn’t always keynote speeches and consultancy calls. Today, we dive into the uncomfortable truths she faced in the force, the turning point that launched her business, and the personal reflections that shaped her mission.

This episode is the number one place to uncover what really goes on behind the buzzwords of inclusion, and why DEI work—when done right—is about more than policies. It’s personal. It’s structural. It’s transformational. And it’s desperately needed.

You'll hear how Marcia tackles misconceptions in the DEI industry, how she helps people who want to do better but don’t know how, and how she juggles leadership, visibility, and staying grounded. Plus, a powerful moment where we connect the dots between her past and present that even surprises her.

💬 Let us know in the comments—what does equity mean to you in your workplace or community? We'd love to hear your voice in this conversation.

Stick around as we uncover invisible lessons from Marcia’s journey, challenge her to prove why now is the time for her work, and explore why empathy is more than just a soft skill—it's a survival one.
