From @sheffielduni.bsky.social: Hear from Prof Munitta Muthana, Professor of Immuno-oncology who took part in our first Equity in Leadership programme.
"For those from global majority backgrounds aspiring to leadership roles, my advice is simple: embrace the Eil programme, engage in the activities, become part of the community. Surround yourself with mentors who can guide you, and always remember - you are not alone."
