Dame Sharon White Guest Edits Today
Highlights from John Lewis boss Dame Sharon White’s guest edit of Today
Today’s final Christmas guest editor this year is Dame Sharon White, chairman of the John Lewis Partnership and former head of telecoms regulator Ofcom. She was named as the most powerful black person in the country in the 2023 Power List.
One of the key issues for her programme is how society can help more people who have been in care get into employment – and includes a report from the Â鶹Éç’s Ashley John-Baptiste, who grew up in care.
She also speaks to world renown choreographer Sir Matthew Bourne about how to attract a wider audience to ballet, and she interviews England rugby star Maro Itoje about his activism off the field.
