This season on The Secret Life of Carers host Jamila Rizvi is back and focusing on the unique challenges women who care face in employment.
Episode two introduces us to Briana, whose journey of self-discovery and identifying as a carer was more confronting than the reality of providing care.
In a past life Briana covered foreign news for Al Jazeera and Associated Press TV. Today she is a proud advocate and carer for her two children who live with disability. Listen in as Briana shares how she’s paving the way for other carers by changing the way she speaks about her experience.
