This lecture will focus on the journey of a lawyer and antiracist practitioner who is a champion of Adult Learning and Professional Development who arrived in the UK as a migrant in 1993. It covers her experiences of racism, overcoming obstacles, personal and professional development to becoming the first Black African Commissioner to the Commission of Racial Equality, the First Black African Specialist Policy Adviser on Equalities to the Welsh Government and a trustee to the UALL. This lecture will challenge listeners to strive to achieve their full potential and explore themes of the impact of adult learning and resilience in the face of difficulties. As Cicily Tyson says, “Dare to Dream, Audacious Dreams”.
