A huge welcome to former Olympic and Commonwealth Games athlete, Vernon Samuels OLY today in the studio.
As a confident orator, Vernon has provided national and regional programmes with insightful interviews and public briefings and was a well-respected presenter for BBC Radio Bristol for four years. His passion for advocacy and inclusion resonates through his keynote speeches at various public events and functions since 1988 upon his return from representing GB at the Olympics. Furthermore, his appearance on the esteemed BBC 1 Panorama Programme “Let’s Talk About Race” in March 2021 underscores his dedication to racial justice and equity.
Heavily influenced by my family’s rich legacy, Vernon seeks to break barriers and create a more inclusive society. As a Parent Engagement Officer, he is part of a dynamic jobshare duo, poised to revolutionize the way Young Minds connects with parents, ensuring a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
