Biography
Beatrice Achaleke is the best personification of her own slogan "Let the (diversity) sun shine!" - radiant, powerful and winning under every aspect. So much charme and humor despite - or maybe because - she had to put up with so many kinds of frustrations being a black woman in a white society. Yes, indeed, she is recognisable, she is standing out, but this is just the starting point of why she is standing up for the recognition of diversity as a value, as a chance, as something nobody is able to neglect in a globalized world.
Beatrice Achaleke is CEO of Diversity Leadership and General Manager of the "European Diversity & Business Congress". Before that she was strategic partner of the WDLS (World Diversity Leadership Summit) for Europe.
Furthermore she is the founder and chairwoman of the "Black European Women's Council" (BEWC), a European parent organisation of more than 38 immigrants' organisations. 2008 she candidated as the first black woman for the parliamentary elections in Austria. 2010 she was announced on Rank 3 in the Power List 2010 of the Most Powerful and Influential Black Women in Europe by the award winning Blog "Black Women in Europe".
Achaleke is the editor of the book "Voices of Black European Women 1" and the yearly status report on the situation of black people in Austria.
She has been awarded with the "World Diversity Innovation Award" by the World Diversity Leadership Council in Washington 2009, the "Miriam Makeba african Diva Award" (2009) and the "MIA Award" (2008) for her humanitarian and social engagement. 2008 she also received the badge of honor of the Republic of Austria for her contribution to the intercultural dialogue.
Her first book "Vielfalt statt Einfalt" was published in November 2011. The second edition was on its' way only three months later.
Beatrice Achaleke engages her audiences with her unique "EPI approach": entertain- provoke- and involve. "I want to create a culture that recognises, respects, values and promotes differences as a core asset of organisations and companies", she says when being asked about which change she wants to make wih her speaking.
