Part 2/9:
Kiz Rano served for 22 years within the police force, motivated by a desire to serve and protect the community, especially following the impact of the September 11 attacks and its aftermath on her local Birmingham neighborhood. As a woman of Asian descent, Rano's commitment propelled her to success within the organization, eventually being promoted to Chief Inspector, breaking barriers as one of the most senior female Asian officers in the region.
However, her journey took a darker turn as Rano began to confront a culture steeped in racism, misogyny, and oppression. Despite her frontline success and initial support, an eventual shift occurred when she initiated discussions addressing systemic discrimination within the police force.
