I’m Anveer, and I graduated from Aston University with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Psychology and embarked on my career in Social Inclusion, working with young people in deprived areas. This experience inspired me to become a primary school teacher, a profession I have passionately pursued for the past 18 years. My dedication to learning and education led me to become the Head of Curriculum and the Senior Mental Health Lead at my primary school. In these roles, I advise and support both children and adults with mental health and wellbeing needs, and liaise with local authority support groups.

Outside of my professional life, I am a mother of three young children, who keep me extremely busy. I thoroughly enjoy the outdoors, keeping fit and exploring and adventuring around the world with my wonderful family. I am deeply invested in mental health and wellbeing, striving to create a more inclusive future for women from ethnically minoritised backgrounds.

Hello, I'm Sharon, a Senior Social Worker with a passion for helping others. Life didn't always go as planned, but I managed to navigate my twenties by putting myself through university while juggling single motherhood and work. Today, I am married and a proud mom of two—a crazy little girl and a determined boy.

My journey is deeply rooted in the unwavering support of my incredible family. When I'm not striving to make a difference in the world, I love diving into interior design projects or experimenting with makeup. I cherish spending time with family and friends, whether it’s enjoying a cosy night in or hosting a fun get-together. Balancing my career, creativity, and family keeps my life vibrant and exciting. Additionally, as a person living with type one diabetes, I am particularly passionate about raising awareness and supporting others with the condition. I am dedicated to helping people with diabetes navigate their own journeys, offering guidance, resources, and encouragement to lead fulfilling lives.

Hi, I’m Andi! I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master’s in Occupational Psychology. I am also an accredited Senior and Executive Level Coach. For the past 10 years, I have been working in higher education, supporting the career development of researchers dedicated to improving the health of the public.

In my early twenties, I moved away from my family and friends to get married and settled in the North East of England. This experience sparked my passion for the importance of community. My husband and two children continually push me out of my comfort zone with activities like martial arts, cycling, and swimming. My favourite hobbies are trail running and reading. I am deeply passionate about coaching and mentoring, with a particular focus on creating a more inclusive future for ethnically minoritised women in the workplace.

I’m Kiran, the Head of Chemistry at my school, where I inspire students and foster a love for science. My academic journey began at Keele University with a degree in Law with Business, providing a unique perspective to my teaching. Beyond the classroom, I find joy in being a mother to two daughters and am supported by my loving husband. My passion for fitness has led me to achieve a black belt in kickboxing and complete several challenging races, including marathons and 10K runs.

I also run a STEM tuition business, helping students excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Additionally, I serve as a parent governor, supporting educational standards in our community. Balancing my career, family, entrepreneurial ventures, and fitness goals has been a journey of dedication and joy. My journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and a genuine love for what I do.
