    Building Identity and Resilience with 2025 Cannes Lions SIBI Participants

    How much does your environment shape who you become? In this episode, we explore the journeys of two women from very different cities in the 2025 Cannes Lions See It Be It cohort. Creative Director Tuere Kareem and Creative Copywriter Érika Moreira share how identity and resilience have shaped the paths they are on today. Tuere’s story is rooted in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, a Caribbean hub driven by the oil and gas industry, and in a family tragedy that deepened her connection to self and community. Érika’s journey traces back to 1958 Brazil, and her path to identity reflects the city’s complex history. Tune in to hear how Tuere and Érika navigate their communities and gain actionable insights on building groundedness, resilience, and creating opportunities in advertising and beyond. This episode was produced by Hauwa Otori with help from Osheiza Otori. Music composed and sound design by Kevin Edwards.  You can follow Founders International Network on LinkedIn and BBP on Instagram.

    Lessons in Confidence from Cannes Lions See It Be It Alums Anastasia Simone & Joy Richu

    In this episode, we unpack the many layers of confidence - how it's built, lost, and regained.  We're joined by Art Director Anastasia Simone and creative entrepreneur and illustrator Joy Richu, both proud See It Be It alums from the Cannes Lions Festival. Anastasia and Joy take us on a journey through their creative paths - spanning places like Hong Kong and Nairobi - as they reflect on how their early environments sparked their passions, how they’ve cultivated confidence, and how they continue showing up fully in their creative careers.  It is a reminder that confidence isn’t just an inside job. It’s deeply influenced by our community, environment, and the courage to keep going. This episode was produced by Hauwa Otori with help from Osheiza Otori. Music composed by Kevin Edwards.

    How Cannes Lions’ Laura Brown and Frank Starling Are Building an Inclusive Movement in Advertising

    What began as taking different life paths for both Laura Brown and Frank Starling has evolved into a shared mission: building inclusive spaces in the advertising industry. At just 21, Laura was made redundant with no savings, before she started temping as a receptionist at Cannes Lions. What seemed like a setback became a launchpad. Today, she is Cannes Lion’s Head of Advancing Equitable Access and leads its See It Be It program — which builds inclusive spaces to help elevate women and nonbinary people’s careers in advertising.  For Frank, entering the work force early with a passion for improving his community in East London forged a relentless drive to make workplaces more inclusive. Now as LION’s Chief DEI Officer, he’s using his platform to build belonging across the advertising and communication industries. Together, they unpack how See It Be It advances careers, focuses on retention just as much as recruitment, and how supporting regional communities play a vital role in sustaining inclusion efforts. The Cannes Lions festival will take place from June 16 through June 20, 2025. Founders International Network is the official media partner for Cannes Lions' See It Be It Program. This episode was produced by Hauwa Otori with help from Osheiza Otori. Music composed by Kevin Edwards. You can follow FIN on LinkedIn and BBP on Instagram.
