In this powerful episode of the Birth Your Vision Podcast, we’re joined by three remarkable leaders from the UK Black Privacy Professionals Network (UK BPPN) Steering Committee — a collective shaping the future of privacy, representation, and impact within the tech and data protection industries.
Together, we explore their professional journeys, lived experiences, and the vital work they’re doing to champion inclusion, governance, and ethical standards in data privacy — all while navigating spaces where representation has been historically limited.
