Voices from 2025
A brilliant event in serious times. A privilege to join everyone at such an uplifting gathering.
It was special, full of energy and joy at a time when ethnic minority communities need allies more than ever. You and your team are something else.
We persevered until our robot sensor finally worked. I loved working alongside others who shared the same passion.
