A specialist in social justice, inequality, and LGBTQ rights, he brings extensive experience from his previous roles as a global correspondent for Vice News and as the BBC's first dedicated LGBTQ correspondent.

He holds a degree in Neuroscience from the University of Nottingham Malaysia and a master’s in Broadcast Journalism from City, University of London.

Today, Ben is a prominent voice in global media, regularly reporting from West Africa and across Europe on human rights and intersectionality. Audiences book him for his ability to translate complex social data into compelling narratives and for his authoritative perspective on the evolving landscape of modern broadcasting. On stage, Ben Hunte is best known for talks on Journalism, Lgbtq Issues, Social Justice and Race And Inequality. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
