Client Feedback
"The event delivered from Roshan was the most successful event we have held – reached the largest audience we have had. She was honest and rich with passion that it could only leave you wanting more. The way she spoke to us was on a level that everyone would understand – so many times I have been on event calls where the speaker doesn’t get on the same level as their audience."
Nandos
"Roshan is a tenacious and passionate presenter and producer. Her interpersonal nature draws you into whatever she is discussing and she is highly skilled both in front of and behind the mic. She has a no holds bar approach when it comes to discussion and doesn't shy away from hard hitting and difficult conversations. I've witnessed her build a platform from the bottom up, be a leading voice in the Dope Black Women Community and advocate for others within the digital sisterhood. I am so proud to see her develop over the last year and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future."
BBC Sounds
"Shan has played a massive role in the launch and production of the BBC’s 'If You Don’t Know' podcast. Her authenticity has shone through in all the episodes of the 1Xtra pod. Roshan is assertive about telling stories from underrepresented parts of the UK. She puts interviewees at ease and encourages guests to open up. Roshan has a warm and engaging personality on-air."
