Leigh-Anne got to visit her hometown of High Wycombe to collect the gong and catch up with Jay, who is the university's chancellor.Leigh-Anne told the audience: “In many ways my story is one that I think mirrors many of the student’s experiences here today. It’s a story of a woman who had a passion, who had a goal that she thought might just be achievable.
Leigh-Anne and Black Fund Trustee Jay have known each other for almost 20 years. She has even credited him as her ‘mentor’ through her teenage years in High Wycombe.
