The diary is my experience of working in the Leeds Community for over 27 years as a Community Midwife. It tells of how I dealt with Racism whilst working in the homes and how Institutional Racism prevented me from breaking through the glass ceiling. Irrespective of all the barriers I thoroughly enjoyed my work. My focus was giving the best care to women in the Antenatal period to enable them to give birth, whether in their homes or in the hospital, to healthy babies and give excellent Postnatal care leaving, happy families on discharge from my care. I am confident that my goal was achieved.
