Being Luminary
By Angela Browne
No one who holds a minoritized identity wants people who don't who hold those identities to be the ones solely making decisions about how organisations and how society changes, how it's run and organised.

We'll be looking at stories about marginalisation, we're looking at issues about equity in the news, and exploring how your institution can and should respond.
