Thriving While Leading: Global Majority voices from health and care
About the event
This BDAS in collaboration with UWE Bristol Equity explored leadership, identity, and lived experience in the health and care sectors, bringing together perspectives from creative practice, policy, community leadership, and lived experience. Hosted by Bristol-based writer and creative producer Corrine Walker, the panel featured Sophie Chester-Glyn, (Coproduce Care), and Councillor Lorraine Francis (Green Party Councillor, Social Worker, and Therapist).
Together, they explored how co-production, representation, and storytelling can challenge inequality, amplify underrepresented voices, and drive structural change, highlighting the evolving role of authentic, community-rooted leadership in shaping more inclusive and equitable systems of care.
