Gamal Turawa, known as G, is a leading voice on equality, diversity, and inclusion whose story has inspired audiences across the world. As the UK’s first openly Black, gay police officer, he brings an unique perspective on belonging, resilience, and authentic leadership. His journey is powerfully captured in the BAFTA-winning short film The Black Cop.
As founder and managing director of Purple Frog Connections, Gamal works internationally as a keynote speaker, facilitator, and coach, helping organisations move beyond diversity rhetoric to build genuine inclusion. His engaging sessions use storytelling to connect complex themes of identity, marginalisation, and psychological safety with practical strategies for sustainable cultural change.
Drawing on his twenty-six-year career with the Metropolitan Police Service, where he delivered pioneering diversity training and helped shape leadership development across Europe, Gamal brings deep insight and credibility to his work. His expertise has been recognised with the National Diversity Awards' "Positive Role Model" honour and through his advisory role with the Institute of Equality and Diversity Professionals.
Gamal helps organisations navigate complex inclusion challenges by facilitating uncomfortable but necessary conversations that reveal hidden biases and systemic barriers. His approach combines lived experience with professional expertise, enabling leaders to create psychologically safe environments where innovation flourishes and retention improves. His work with European police leadership programs and global corporations demonstrates his ability to drive sustainable change across diverse organisational cultures.
Audiences leave Gamal's presentations with practical tools for fostering authentic workplace conversations, strategies for building psychological safety that enhance team performance, and frameworks for measuring inclusion impact beyond superficial metrics.
Book Gamal when you need more than inspiration - when your organisation requires practical, transformative guidance toward measurable inclusion outcomes.
