Leeds Lives: Celebrating the Lives of Black People in Leeds

Wednesday 15 November

Join us to hear Gloria Hanley tell her story of vocation as both a minister and a midwife, her journey as an author, and her community work.

 

Hear the lived experiences of being a Black woman in midwifery and explore why fewer Black women are going into midwifery today.

This intimate conversation is open to all who want to learn more about history and lives from the Black community in Leeds.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Please register for your free place.
