"My name is Calvin & I'm a nurse". It this guest's standard introduction that says so much about him.
Professor Calvin Moorley (he/him) is a Professor of Diversity & Social Justice at London South Bank University which is where we met. As a former colleague & very much a friend, Calvin has been fundamental in my journey of allyship, education & awareness - as he has been with so many other people.
We know each other well so I was excited to delve into his origin story to get to know him even better and it was such a joy, especially to hear about 'little Calvin' and migrant story. But growing up as a gay kid in Trinidad - a place where being LGBTQ+ isn't easy - has meant that Calvin has had to navigate cultural acceptance & sensitivities, religion & family expectations. Something we explore that Calvin has reconciled to find peace as well as belonging in London, which is very much home with his amazing husband Nick.
Calvin describes his origin story with the words 'Fighter, Caring & Smiley'. And he has all of these in bucket loads, particularly when it comes to advocating for nursing & midwifery professionals from marginalised backgrounds. We also explore the importance & influence of the women in our lives & gender equality - a mutual passion. Take care whilst listening and enjoy this brilliant conversation with this absolute legend!
