On 8th May 2025, the prestigious House of Lords in London played host to the 3rd Annual “Women Mastering Change – Master Change Your Way” closed session. Organised by Mastering Diversity CIC and curated by Bernie Davies, the event brought together a powerful collective of leaders, visionaries, and allies championing diversity and women navigating change.

Hosted by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE DL, Patron of Mastering Diversity CIC, the invitation-only gathering celebrated inclusive leadership and featured insights from influential speakers and organisations across Wales. Notable attendees included representatives from NatWest, Hugh James, FinTech Wales, Deloitte, Browne Jacobson, Women in Change, Education Wales, Commonwealth Games Team Wales, and the Welsh Ambulance Services.

Keynote speakers shared stories of resilience and allyship, including:

• Josianne Nduwimana, representing the First Lady of Burundi, Her Excellency Angeline Ndayishimiye
• Julia Reynolds, Partner at Leigh Day
• Andrew Martin, from the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and Mastering Diversity Board Member
• Blessing Mutamba, NatWest
• Gwen Morgan-Evans, Hugh James
• Kobena Amissah, Mastering Diversity Youth Board

A highlight of the session was the debut of a short film based on the “Mastering Diversity” documentary, co-created by Georgios Dimitropoulos. The full feature is set for premiere on 10th July 2025 at the NatWest South Wales Hub.

“It was an absolute honour to attend and support the 3rd Annual Women Mastering Change – Master Change Your Way closed session at the House of Lords. Being part of this incredible gathering of leaders, visionaries, and advocates—under the remarkable guidance of Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and Bernie Davies—was both inspiring and deeply moving. At FinTech Wales, we are proud to stand with organisations across the region and beyond, championing the resilience and brilliance of women navigating change and the allies who uplift them. Events like this prove that real change begins when diverse voices are not just heard, but truly valued.”

The event forms part of a wider 2025 programme by Mastering Diversity CIC, culminating in the Global Empowerment and Inclusion Summit at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva on 26th June 2025. The summit will spotlight Youth Empowerment, Cultural Exchange, and DEI in sports and technology, welcoming global thought leaders and change advocates.
