<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Manchester’s vibrant heart they stand,
A powerful force, a guiding hand.
Deanne Heron, with words that inspire,
Her pen ignites, sets souls on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Cameron, a leader so strong,
Championing justice all day long.
Chair of the Race Equality panel’s grace,
In her steps, we find our rightful place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alyson Malach, in her director’s chair,
A poet’s heart, a soul so rare.
She advocates with a passion, untamed,
For equality’s flame to be unashamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erinma Bell, magistrate and guide,
Injustice, she will not let slide.
As a local councillor, she stands tall,
Ushering fairness for one and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zara Manoe, with a heart so true,
Youth advocate, justice is her view.
Passionate for social justice’s call,
She pushes for equity, stands proud and tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya Angelou’s words now take flight,
“Together we can make the world right.”
In unity, these women strive,
To make Manchester’s future bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hearts of courage, they lead the way,
A force for change, come what may.
In Black History Month 2023, let it be known,
These women’s legacies have firmly grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their work for equity, inclusion and diversity,
A testament to strength and unity.
In Manchester’s heart, they shine so bright,
Guiding us toward a more just and equal light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
