Welcome to the Digital Equality Network Kirklees

The DEN Kirklees aims to share equality legislation for all with a specific view to African & Asian descendants as well as minority rights.

We give the voluntary, third, public and private sector a platform to collaborate and celebrate diversity and inclusion. It debates and explores how individuals organisations can make a difference within their local authority, community, and businesses to eradicate all forms of discrimination.

Supporting Local Politics with Amanda Pinnock | African Descendants Forum

On this episode of the African Descendants Forum, presenter Dr Milton Brown is joined by Labour Councillor for Ashbrow Ward, Amanda Pinnock

Amanda is not only a devoted mother, wife, daughter, ...
sister, and friend, but she is also a passionate lover of music and an active member of the Labour Party, serving as a councillor for the Ashbrow Ward in Huddersfield since 2015.

With an impressive educational background, Amanda has earned degrees from both the University of Huddersfield and the University of Coventry. Her expertise lies in civil litigation and legal representation, as she has been an in-house solicitor since 2010.

Amanda’s journey has been deeply rooted in her community, and her dedication to public service is evident through her political and activist endeavours. Throughout her career, Amanda has fearlessly navigated the world of politics, advocating for the rights and well-being of her constituents and beyond.

As the only black African descendant politician among the 69 members in Kirklees, Amanda brings a unique perspective and invaluable insights to the table and is currently the lead councillor for Kirklees Licensing.

In addition to her political engagement, Amanda’s commitment to her community extends to her active involvement in the church. In her early days, she not only attended church but also showcased her musical talents by singing solo, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who witnessed her performances.

In this episode, we have the privilege of delving into Amanda’s philosophies, opinions, and experiences as she shares her remarkable journey of navigating politics, community activism, and the challenges and triumphs of being a trailblazing African descendant politician.
