1 Umme Imam Executive Director Reducing health inequalities, promoting equality for Black and Minority Ethnic women in the NE

2 Mission The Angelou Centre exists to advance social inclusion and economic independence for women who are excluded due to disadvantages of race and gender in the North East of England.

3 African American women’s chant from the 1960s All women are white, all blacks are men, but some of us are brave!  ‘Black Women’- Normalised absence/pathologised presence  Lack of awareness in the mainstream of the interplay of ‘race’ and gender in ‘black’ women’s lives

4  Black feminist ethos-black perspectives on women’s issues  Cultural intelligence/linguistically diverse staff team  Non-judgemental approach-honour/shame  Holistic support  Specialist advocacy

5 Building Positive Lives: an holistic approach

6 ◦ User satisfaction interview- 43 women: 22 TCSP 21 non TCSP  100% user satisfaction reported ◦ Questionnaires (43) to measure of psychological wellbeing (Ryff Scales of Psychological Wellbeing) ‘Autonomy’, ‘Personal Growth’ and ‘Positive Relationship with Others’ ‘Self Acceptance  Undifferentiated scores for three but higher scores for Self Acceptance -TCSP

7  “She [counsellor] was the person I can relate my problems to and tell my secrets….slowly I told her everything and felt very free”. Interviewee 11  “Counselling was a very good thing…you can say whatever you’re feeling inside…you tell everything and you are free of those things. It’s like chucking everything out”. Interviewee 15  “For me, I go to this (counselling), I can now talk without being ashamed of myself. I know that everything that happens to me is not my fault. I can now think positively about my past experiences, not just the bad parts of it”. Interviewee 23

8  “(Case Worker) helped me to get help from a solicitor, she helped me sort out my problems with my ex- husband…we got an injunction order against him. With my immigration status we also sorted it out and I’ve got indefinite leave to remain in the UK”. Interviewee 22  “We have a lot of outings which really helped because, honestly, before I got here, I never went out…helps the kids to mix with other kids. Before I got here my kids were not talking”. Interviewee 5  “Because of the Saheli Group we meet other people and listen to other people. It gives you more courage” Interviewee 15
