DLiT held its final public event on 3 July.
It was an absolute delight to have the Chai & Chat ladies from Belgrave. They sang their childhood songs, one in Gujarati and another in Hindi, and shared their memories from India, Uganda and Ghana.
We also had the pleasure to welcome Cllr Manjula Sood, the UK’s first Asian female Lord Mayor. She shared her personal experience, from being a widowed mother of two to her illustrious political career. We were also very pleased to hear that Cllr Sood attend the University of Leicester where she completed her postgraduate training. What an inspiration!
The event doesn’t mark the end of the project. The connection through translation is just beginning. Please do share yours!
