DCS end #BHM2019 on a ‘personal note’ hailing Dr Gifty Edila


As if to further demonstrate the need to celebrate and promote 'current day' icons across the professions that have made significant contributions throughout their careers, we at DiverseCity Surveyors are taking one last opportunity for 2019, to do just that.

On the 29 October 2019, at The Claudia Jones Organisation based in Hackney, east London, the official book launch of Dr Gifty Edila, industry legend, mentor and friend to many was held. Titled, Defying Expectations, the book chronicles the phenomenal life and remarkable achievements of Dr Edila.

Without giving too much away, the book defines how Dr Edila worked hard, stayed focussed and was ultimately rewarded for her unfailing efforts. In the midst of daily trials and tribulations, Dr Edila, went onto become one of the most sought after legal minds in England and Wales.

DiverseCity Surveyors are offering the first five (5) readers of this post, a free copy of the book to anyone who successfully answers the following questions:

  • Where was Claudia Jones born?

  • How did she become a resident in London?

Please send answers here, to DCS Email

We look forward to hearing from DCS Members and Non-Members alike.

The book ‘Defying Expectations’ is currently available here and retails at £19.99 [excluding postage and packaging].
