We are proud to see our board member Sue Liburd MBE DL FRSA, taking a central role in Black History Month UK's "Changing Narratives" campaign. Sue, born in 1962 to Windrush-generation parents from Nevis and Jamaica, grew up in a military family influenced by her father's Royal Air Force service, which shaped her understanding of family values, racial, and gender biases. She initially pursued a career in mental health nursing before becoming a midwife. In 1987, she transitioned to the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps, where her work extended to promoting diversity and inclusion. After leaving the military, Sue became a strategic advisor, contributing to the Veterans Advisory Board and working in health services. She also co-founded the British West India Regiment’s Heritage Trust to highlight the contributions of Black soldiers in British history and served as Director of the National Windrush Museum, advocating for the recognition of the Windrush generation's legacy.
