speaker

Cr Dai Le

Councillor, Fairfield Council and Advisory Board

Member, Multicultural NSW

Twitter: @dai_le

Being a champion for diversity and inclusion isn’t an easy path to follow. For Dai

Le, her life’s journey has created this path; she is the embodiment of diversity

and inclusion.

Dai is on a mission is to help build an inclusive society where mainstream

institutions and organisations genuinely reflect the diverse community we live in.

Dai Le founded DAWN, a platform that gives voice to diverse and inclusive talent

who are shaping today’s society. Through DAWN, Dai Le has created a voice

where she speaks, consults, and helps organisations understand the economic

and social benefits of leveraging diversity and inclusion as part of their business

development, market innovation and corporate responsibility.

“When corporations understand that cultures and people can be different but it

is all about understanding, accepting and finding the true value of how the

differences work together. Sometimes, in our difference we are the same and

we need to find that to really reach our true potential in the workforce.” Says Dai.

Prior to establishing DAWN, Dai Le was an award-winning journalist, film-maker

and broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Dai Le was

named one of AFR-Westpac's Top 100 Influential Women in Australia in 2014.

Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Dai Le spent many years in refugee camps in South

East Asia before being accepted for resettlement in Australia. Her childhood

experiences and growing up with a dual identity – being a Vietnamese in Australia

and western cultural surroundings, helped to shape her perception of life. It has

also made her a passionate advocate for refugees and migrant communities.

Together with her diverse and highly experienced team at DAWN they create

online content, network, and thought-leadership discussions with a genuine lens

on inclusion and diversity.

With over 20 years of change making experience, Dai is a strong believer in the

use of storytelling to inspire, educate and inform. She currently serves as an

Advisory Board Member to Multicultural NSW, a Government statutory body;

she’s an Ambassador for Fairfield Relay for Life, and NSW Cancer Council

Greater Western Sydney. Dai is also a breast cancer survivor.
