TESSY OJO CBE: Diana, William, Harry, Meghan, Oprah & The Life-Changing Leap
In this episode of New Chapters with Isabel Webster, Dr Tessy Ojo CBE, CEO of The Diana Award, shares how she left a successful corporate career, took a major pay cut and found a very different kind of purpose.Tessy opens up about the grief that shaped her work, including the loss of her brother and why she believes pain can eventually be turned into purpose.She also talks about leading one of the few charities that still brings Prince William and Prince Harry together in their mother’s name, why Meghan joining the Royal Family felt like “a real turning point”, and the surreal moment Oprah recognised her at Harry and Meghan’s wedding.When pressed by Isabel on the relentless media coverage surrounding William and Harry - Tessy warns headlines and clickbait are dehumanising and bother her 'a lot'.Serious, single-minded and deeply impressive, Tessy is a woman driven by service, opportunity and a determination to create space for others.
