Event Information: What does it really mean to work in the health and social care industry for Black women? Despite a growing awareness for diversity and inclusivity in workplaces, research consistently shows that Black women in health and social care regularly face intersectional discrimination due to their race and sex. We’ve invited a panel of Black women from health and social care sectors to discuss their experiences in the industry for this Black History Month’s focus on ‘Celebrating our sisters’. We will discuss what lessons they have learnt during their careers to inform Black girls and women with hopes of entering health and social care on the potential barriers they could face. More broadly, this event aims to provide insight for any individual that is currently working (or aspires to work) in health and social care sectors on how they could foster a more diverse and inclusive workplace that serves the wider community.
