"Receiving the BAME Health and Care Award for Ally of the Year was an incredibly meaningful moment for me. To be recognised for work that I deeply believe in, and that often goes unseen, was both humbling and impactful. It reinforced just how important EDI work is and what it means to take the time to recognise and uplift one another."

"Winning two BAME Health and Social Care Awards was a humbling and deeply meaningful moment in my career. I do this work because I care about people, especially those whose contributions are often unseen, and being recognised for that commitment meant a great deal to me and my team. These awards shine a light on the compassion, perseverance, and important work happening across health and social care, particularly within BAME communities."

"I am truly honoured and humbled to receive the Educator of the Year award from the National BAME Health and Care Awards. My work has always been focused on improving health equity and delivering meaningful oral health education for individuals, families, and communities. I'm deeply grateful for the support and look forward to continuing this important work."
