What an emotional and comfortably triggering day at “The Black Mental Health Conference 2026: The Black Man’s Burden” 🖤 Held at the famous Kingsholm Stadium in Gloucester, I met so many fabulous people of past, present and future, making new connections, friends and allies along the way.
I attended on a personal level which was made even better to see Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust very well represented and with senior leaders too.
All the speakers were off-scale. No endless busy slides with speakers telling us what they want to tell us (my pet hate). Instead, we were treated to inspiring, informative and moving stories that told us what we needed to hear, and shaped how we felt. Skills 🙌🏾
Huge thank you to Audrey James for being you, and to Barnwood Trust and the Black South West Network for your belief, your investment, and your energy. So many others to thank and acknowledge 🖤 but thank you!
