Welcome to the 222nd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. November is all about parenting with equity and well-being in mind. Today we are focussing on cross-cultural parenting and to join me is Carolina Albuerne Rodriguez.
About my guest
With 20 years dedicated to the third sector, I've been a steadfast advocate for human rights, specialising in issues like refugee protection, human trafficking, torture, and access to justice.
My academic journey, marked by a focus on Postcolonial Literature and a Post Graduate Diploma in Conflict, Security, and Development, laid the groundwork for my deep understanding of complex challenges.
A pivotal achievement in my career was leading the Good Practice and Partnerships Team at Refugee Action—the first infrastructure-dedicated team in the UK to cater to the needs of the refugee and migrant sector.
This initiative built capacity within third-sector organisations and integrated collaboration, early action and access to justice whilst driving systemic change.
In various roles, from volunteer to board chair, I've gained a holistic perspective on the not-for-profit sector. Fundraising and project development have been integral to my journey, showcasing my commitment to driving meaningful change.
My passion lies in co-creating transformative strategies for secure, stable, and agile organisations. Over seven years, I've supported a team working with 300+ organisations across the UK, providing valuable insights into the sector's challenges and opportunities.
My mission is to foster change, bringing organisations and funders together for a future prepared and eager to embrace positive transformation.
