About this listen
In this episode of Ten Year'd, we dive into the inspiring journey of Michael G. Donkor, a working-class Black professional from Hackney who defied the odds to become a stockbroker.
With only 1% of financial advisors and analysts in the UK being Black—and most coming from elite schools with first-class degrees—Michael’s path was anything but typical. Armed with a 2:2 and unrelenting determination, he broke into an industry that often seemed out of reach for someone like him.
We explore how he navigated stereotypes, got in the room, and ultimately thrived in an environment where representation is scarce. Michael’s story is a testament to resilience and redefining what success looks like.
Tune in to learn how he did it—and how you can chart your own path to success.
