Description
Hello, my friends and welcome to episode two of what's shaping up to be a season of collective wisdom about finding courage in the face of adversity. And my guest this week is no stranger to that idea. Phyllida Swift is now the chief exec of Face Equality International, a role she stepped into after the untimely death of her predecessor and founder of the organisation Dr. James Partridge, James very sadly died in August last year and Phyllida has asked that this episode pay tribute to the incredible man that he was and to his life changing work as the pioneer behind the facial equality movement. James founded the charity Changing Faces after he suffered severe burns to his face as a teenager and went on to set up Face Equality International back in 2018, to unite organisations fighting for facial equality globally as he understood the power of the collective to really have an impact. He worked tirelessly right up until his death, helping people with facial differences to deal with the daily challenges they encounter, and to change the attitudes and prejudices of the world towards them. Our sincere condolences go to his wife, Carrie, his children and grandchildren and the many, many people who like Phyllida were so sorry to have to say goodbye to such a caring and compassionate friend. This week is facial equality week, and there couldn't be a more fitting time to honour James and the legacy that was his life's work.
