With the right tools, platforms for key issues, and community engagement, we can debunk the myths!
This work was established for the incredible potpourri of people, Nations, cultures, creeds, cognitions, and ways of being, which is the fabric of the Welsh landscape. Why do I want to focus on Wales? Wales is now my home and has been my home since 2006. But most importantly it is the place I became acutely aware of the importance of deliberate diversity. It is also the place where I came face to face with unconscious bias, discrimination, and racism. And it is also the place where I found true acceptance and where I found “no closed doors” for a very long time. Wales is the place, I felt and realised that being different was actually an advantage.
In a world where you can find hate separation discrimination and bias...in that same world, you can find acceptance, unconditional love, and togetherness.
This is why I wrote the book about mastering diversity and launched the Conference and Awards. And even more so why I will focus most of my anecdotal research evidence on Wales. Wales is now my home and there is a saying that charity begins at home. So my focus is not to heal the world. My focus is to heal my world. My beautiful, green, lush world…Wales. And to bloom where I am planted."

Founded by multi-award-winning EDI Expert Bernie Davies in 2023, and hailed as a historic event by the Welsh Government, the Mastering Diversity and Inclusion Conference Wales has since become a premier event in the industry, attracting top professionals and thought leaders from across Wales and the United Kingdom.
The Mastering Diversity Conference Wales is not a tick-box exercise. It was always the intention of the Creator, Bernie Davies to use the conferences as a means to get the best minds and expertise in one space, have conversations, learn, teach, craft, and re-imagine. Most importantly, the conferences are meant to inform pieces of work that the task force takes away and delivers.
Together with this incredible team of experts, we have produced a Conference Report in the form of a documentary, by Georgios Dimitropoulos which showcases progress reports, case studies, recommended actions coming out of the findings within the Zone Rooms, and the overall activities. Georgios Dimitropoulos, Head of Swansea University's Media Suite and award-winning filmmaker, interviewed organisations, stakeholders, and individuals directly.
The task force supports the development of clear actions and strategies.
At the Mastering Diversity Conference 2024, the Trailer was launched and the feature-length documentary will air in January 2025!

NATWEST and Mastering Diversity Conference has launched a Taskforce. Each member of our team comes to the table with their own unique lived experiences but with a shared passion for spreading the diversity message. They are experts in their fields and Bernie is privileged to have them on board!
There's much to be gained from getting this message out into the Welsh communities. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about me and my work. Here's hoping you get inspired to support or be supported by me and my colleagues. Please take a moment to drop me a line. We need sponsors and more.
My gratitude goes out to Cardiff Life Magazine and WCS Agency
