SR, VP Diversity & Inclusion, London

“Totally blown away by Sara’s keynote speech. She was warmly invited to our Equality, Diversity Inclusion Away Day 2022 at the University of East London. Her speech describing her lived experience of being wired differently was just so inspiring and honest. This is the start of our association with Wired Differently – look forward to having Sara back to speak to our students at our Career Zones in the next academic year.”
