British-Nigerian solicitor and equalities practitioner, Uzo Iwobi CBE is our guest on the verandah this week.

Professor Uzo talks about the racial discrimination she faced on route to becoming a solicitor, including being told she couldn't work in the legal profession due to her race. She went on to become an adviser to the Welsh Government as its Specialist Policy Adviser on Equalities.

She highlights her work on anti-racism, including the first anti-racist action plan in Wales and the introduction of mandatory black history education. Professor Uzo also talks about the importance of community support and her ongoing advocacy for racial equality and cultural recognition.
