Listening to the amazing wayfinder Yvonne Field - founder of The Ubele Initiative. Really moved by her description of how her mothers activism inspired her to drive change. Reminded me of how important what we show our children is. ACEVO #ACEVOFest25

Financial wellbeing is not felt equally. Minoritised ethnic communities pay more for financial goods & face more barriers accessing services. So I was pleased to join Rooted Finance & @MoneyAandE to launch a vital new #EquityinFinance project with Uma Kumaran MP & Calvin Bailey MBE MP
