Sharing Her Story: Lesi Nayuoh and UWL Panel Events
Lesi Nayuoh is no stranger to public speaking. In addition to her work as an oncology nurse, Lesi presents popular public health discussions on social media, under the handle LesiNayTalks. These talks, inspired by Lesi’s master’s degree in Public Health, aim to encourage people in the BAME community to start talking about difficult and taboo topics surrounding health and wellbeing.
For UWL, Lesi has taken part in a number of panel events, including the popular Alumni Engage event: The Role of Activism in the NHS. You can watch this event here.
Reflecting on her experience giving talks at UWL, Lesi said:
"Volunteering and giving talks is important because it gives me the opportunity to raise awareness on health issues, thereby influencing people's decision making, motivate change and help people to be proactive in their health and wellbeing. It empowers people to be involved in their health and wellbeing."
There are so many opportunities to speak at UWL events; take part in a panel aimed at current students, participate in one of our recruitment events or careers fairs, or volunteer to take part in Alumni Engage, a series of interviews with inspiring alumni broadcast live over Zoom.
