Occupational psychologist & Project facilitator

I am Danielle Barr an Occupational Psychologist in training and project facilitation manager for WAPBRUNCH,

Being on this journey with Queen has been an experience, getting to see the capabilities of black women working in collaboration unfolding into the amazing sisterhood that WAPBRUNCH is becoming.

What I bring to the team is research based evidence and measures to ensure that WAPBRUNCH is embodying its ethos, mission and values and aligning this to the needs of the Sisters that we work with, making sure that each encounter with the WAPBRUNCH brand is significant.
 
I graduated with an BA in Business Psychology while working for the NHS. Shortly after completing my Masters in Occupational & Organisational Psychology I started working in Higher Education. My main areas of Research is focused on Leadership & Mental Health as well as employee Well-being.

In my spare time I love to read, travel and learn about different cultures.

WAPBRUNCH is a sisterhood that creates a space for women of all ages to grow and learn together all while having fun and that is unmatched.

Events Operational Manager

Hey Lovely people, I am Kirtan the Events Operational Manager for WAPBRUNCH.

Watching WAPBRUNCH grow from a brainstorm idea back in May 2021 to our first brunch in Sep 21 to current has been nothing short of amazing. I am so proud & excited to be on this WAP journey, even gladder to be a part of true sisterhood.

What I bring to WAPBRUCNH is my planning experience from the NHS and becoming a newly qualified Personal Trainer, plus being a practicing Holistic Health and wellbeing personnel. I can transfer all my skillet into my role.

​

When I’m not working, I love creating new vegan recipes, (Currently 3 years into my meatless dietary journey!! Yesss, it has been hard lol.)

I also enjoy Hot Yoga, vibing to old school R&B & long walks.

WAPBRUCH is close to me for a few reasons. 

Not only do we give women of colour a safe space, WAP also allows us to be our authentic ourselves whilst networking, socialising and having fun! 

You have to experience WAP at least once, otherwise you’ll be doing yourself a huge disservice, take the opportunity to be in rooms where you belong.

​

Anyhow, that's enough about me for now, we can catch up more when we meet in the future!
