Saluting our sisters

The Division of Clinical Psychology (DCP) has produced a podcast celebrating the 2023 Black History month theme 'saluting our sisters'.

17 October 2023

The podcast features three Black clinical psychologists - Dr Juliana Onwumere (consultant clinical psychologist), Dr Vivia Cowdrill (consultant clinical psychologist), and Professor Margo Ononaiye (director of Southampton clinical psychology doctoral programme) - who all hold senior leadership roles within the NHS and in higher education.

They are joined by host Dr Sidrah Muntaha, the DCP's equality, diversity and inclusion lead, for a discussion on their lives and careers, and to celebrate Black History Month 2023.

Dr Sidrah Muntaha said about the podcast:

"I salute these amazing women, not just for their professional achievements, but also their humility, humour and openness.

The free-flowing conversation and emotional connections made were a heart-warming experience for me, which I hope will inspire those who are watching and listening.

Thank you Viv, Margo and Juliana - and carry on shining!"
