When STEM and philanthropy come together!
An amazing charity seeking to create equality of opportunity, as a result of the ‘myth of meritocracy’ is the The Armitage Foundation
The Armitage Foundation offers an opportunity to those who have the aptitude and desire to study medicine, but who don’t come from traditionally the “right” background to participate in their programmes.
Leanne accepted an invitation to have a conversation as part of #chatBlack podcast series. So STRIVERS, you have the opportunity to hear from another amazing role model, Dr Leanne Armitage. Leanne is the co-founder of the charity, ‘The Armitage Foundation’ – bringing STEM and philanthropy together – the core mission of The Armitage Foundation is to open up access & opportunity to Black heritage people into medicine.
Leanne grew up in a single parent family on a council estate in London. She worked hard to fulfil her dream of being a doctor and despite some major setbacks, achieved her dream.
On this #chatBlack podcast with Dr Leanne Armitage, we talk about identity, values, faith and purpose.
