In part one of four conversations, four black women in New Zealand share their experiences of carving out careers for themselves in New Zealand to becoming leaders in their own fields - from medicine to mental health.
In this four part series of conversations, Kadambari Raghukumar talks to four black women in Aotearoa New Zealand about their experiences across different lines of work from medicine to activism and academics.
Dr Carolyn Providence was born on the tiny Caribbean island of St Vincent with a population of roughly 100,000 people. Her pursuit of a career in medicine took her around the region, to the UK and the US before she finally arrived on the shores of New Zealand about ten years ago.
Carolyn was recruited as an International Medical Graduate from the UK, but the journey of settling into New Zealand wasn't an easy ride. After many years of reconciling those struggles, she joins Here Now in this epsidode to talk about what life has been like as a woman of colour moving to New Zealand to carve out a career in medicine.
