I am a young Muslim woman who has always been very
passionate about peace, justice and equality. This is why I joined
Respect and have been actively campaigning local and national issues
for over two years.
I have campaigned to try and save a local community market from the
profit-driven big businesses. I have actively campaigned against
Islamaphobia and racism.
I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Communication and Sociology from
Goldsmith. I went on to work for an international NGO for over 4
years.
I grew up in Newham and feel strongly about giving back to the
multicultural and diverse community of London.
I am a school governor at my secondary school, am General Secretary
of Newham children's trust, a volunteer youth and community project,
also a freelance journalist. Currently I am the secretary of
Newham Respect.
My drive and passion for social justice has lead me to
participate in the Greater London Assembly elections.
