Laura Blight

Ambassador

She/Her

what makes me hopeful?

Seeing communities come together to tackle injustice and stand to defend communities who face injustice give me a real boost. This and when I see a truly fantastic senior appointment that challenges perceptions and will create change.

what makes me angry?

Inequality and injustice make me angry especially when they are caused by short-sighted change that does not consider the voices of the most vulnerable in society. A lot of the change in the world at the moment feels like we’re going backwards and it’s infuriating.
