"A trailblazing panel of British women of colour shared their life stories with an attentive, eager to learn, engaged and positive audience for the second; I'mPOSSIBLE conversation on February 8 at Pearson's London head quarters. Hosted by ITN newsreader; Charlene White; panellists:
- Margaret Casely-Hayford, company secretary and chief legal head of Waitrose & John Lewis
- Michelle Gayle, actress (Grange Hill and Eastenders) and author
- Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, first Black female chaplain to the speaker of the House of Commons
- Dr Uchenna Okoye, offical dentist of Channel 4'S '10 Years Younger' & clinical director of London Smiling dental practices
- Miss Samantha Tross, the first Black female orthopaedic consultant surgeon in the UK
the night was empowering, educational but most of all focused on being better and tools on how to achieve this.
The I'mPOSSIBLE. conversation is a series of intimate events staged in central London where a panel of British women of colour, from all walks of life, come together, to share their stories on the theme of 'how I became POSSIBLE.' It's a purely inspirational and empowering event which gives a platform for British women of colour an opportunity to share their journey on how they became POSSIBLE. with no interruptions or apologies."

At the last gathering [it took place last month], ImPossible founder Simone Bresi-Ando pulled together a panel consisting of; Dr Uchenna Okoye, Michelle Gayle, Samantha Tross, Ghana Rising fave, Margaret Caseley-Hayford and Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin -fabulous….
PR guru Simone Bresi-Ando is most definitely the-go-to-person-on-all-things-PR and is beyond inspirational -and I truly hope to work with her in the near future. The above film clip is a true gem…enjoy. For more information about ImPossible visit: http://www.i-am-possible.com/
