“Roshan Roberts was a key producer on the ‘1Xtra Talks’ show and podcast for BBC Radio 1Xtra – during her tenure on the show she was the heart and soul of the production, selecting the topics and treatments that resonated with our young, hard-to-reach audience.
Roshan conceived some really important pieces of content for 1Xtra Talks – from our Immigration Special on the experiences of undocumented young people in the UK, to an interview with social activist Munroe Bergdorf, to a discussion on the use of the term BAME with a live studio audience. She has proved she can push boundaries within the BBC editorial guidelines and work under pressure in a variety of live environments.
Roshan brings with her an unrivalled network of contributors from high profile musicians, comedians and influencers to medical experts, charities and real people with extraordinary stories to tell.”

Passionate about diversity, empowerment, and equality, Roshan speaks on the challenges faced by Black individuals in the workplace and in society, addressing issues of race, gender, and identity. Her speaking engagements focus on empowering underrepresented communities, with a specific emphasis on mental health, sexual well-being, and gender/race issues.
“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.”
