In this episode of the RACE in STEM podcast, Steve Fuller speaks with Bamidele (Bami) Farinre, a biomedical scientist and public health professional whose journey into STEM is marked by persistence, rejection, and resilience.

From growing up in Nigeria to navigating identity challenges in the UK, Bami shares the reality of being underestimated, overlooked, and told she wasn’t “right” for science — and how she refused to let those experiences stop her.

This episode explores:

  • the barriers women of colour face entering STEM
  • why opportunity and access are still unequal
  • the role of mentorship and representation
  • how persistence shaped every stage of Bami’s career

A powerful and honest conversation for anyone building a career against the odds.
