Gamechangers Leadership Profiles

DIY gamechangers logo; 'DIY' and 'gamechangers' at the top. Underneath we can see colourful stick figures balancing on each other. The ones at the top are moving the letters of 'gamechangers'

DIY’s Gamechangers have created their own profiles to express how they see themselves as leaders.

The Gamechangers profile images have been developed with DIY Associate Artist Audrey Albert.

Each Gamechanger decided how they wanted to be portrayed including their preferred colours, the background to the image and the props and objects they wanted to be included.

Every image is very different because every Gamechanger is very different! We have different personalities and we all have different ways of leading which are informed by their lived experience of learning disability.

photo: A young woman is looking at the camera but her eyes are not looking in quite the same direction. She has pale curly ginger hair which is tied back from her face. Her lips are open but her teeth are together as if she is about to say something or make a noise. She is wearing a feather boa which is the brightest of bright reds.Chloe Crispin

photo: a round artistic image. We can see the head of a young man in profile. He has short dark hear and is wearing glasses with black frames. He is looking thoughtful and his left hand is raised up. The image is trasparent and unclear with what looks like another picture of countryside shining through.
