‘Why David Oluwale Matters: “Race”, Mental Health and Homelessness today.’ A educational panel with three Leeds experts of African heritage showing the intersection of the pressing social issues of ‘race’, mental health and homelessness.
With creative responses to these issues from Leeds poets.
The panel members are:
- Alison Lowe (deputy mayor of West Yorkshire, former CEO of Touchstone, serving the inner cities of Leeds)
- Dr Hector-Goma (Leeds GP).
- Heather Nelson (CEO Leeds Black Health Initiative)
- With poetry on related themes from Abdullah Adekola and Emily Zobel Marshall and others.
