Why does representation matter?

In this inspiring throwback episode of The School Podcast, Cameron Parker sits down with Miriam Manderson to discuss leadership, representation and the power of helping young people believe what is possible for their future.

The conversation also explores aspiration, diversity in schools, parenting, work-life balance and the challenges many educators face when trying to make a difference both at school and at home.
