Leeds Lives: Celebrating the Lives of Black People in Leeds

Join us to hear Gloria Hanley tell her story of vocation as both a minister and a midwife, her journey as an author, and her community work.

 

Hear the lived experiences of being a Black woman in midwifery and explore why fewer Black women are going into midwifery today.
