In this powerful first episode of Walking the Talk, host Robert Lloyd Griffiths OBE takes a walk up the Cribarth in South Wales with Sharon James-Evans, Principal of Cardiff and Vale College. From her school days in Merthyr Tydfil to leading one of the UK’s largest FE colleges, Sharon shares the stories, people, and purpose that have shaped her remarkable journey. It’s a conversation full of grit, passion, and the unshakable belief that education can transform lives — especially for those who need it most.
