Maia & Manon - Episode 6

This week Debbie is speaks to Maia Rowe Sampson & Manon Clement - passionate advocates for equality and diversity.
Maia has a background in science research, education and content writing.

She now works with AFBE-UK, collaborating on initiatives aimed at engaging young people in Birmingham with motorsport and other STEM opportunities.

Her work with a social impact agency allowed her to leverage her communication skills to drive meaningful change, while continuing to focus on education and empowerment.
