Baroness Lola Young brings a powerful lens to questions of identity, justice, and cultural transformation. Drawing on her journey from the arts to activism and public leadership, she explores how personal experience intersects with systemic change. This session invites participants to reflect on whose stories are heard, how power operates in society, and what it means to build a more inclusive future. With honesty, insight, and urgency, Baroness Young challenges us to move beyond tokenism and towards meaningful action—whether in policy, education, or everyday life.

Baroness Young is in conversation with Baroness Shaista Gohir, independent peer and leading UK women’s rights advocate championing Muslim and minority women’s equality.
