Our conversation today is with Akeela Ahmed.

In it, we hear her talk about the important work she does with government, in the various charities she is connected to and how she shows up to be a voice for those who otherwise would not be heard or included. 

Akeela opens up about experiences of racism and prejudice in her childhood which she has only recently realised have shaped who she is today. 

Growing up alongside her hard working, immigrant parents in many different parts of the country has given Akeela insights into how different people live their lives and the struggles and challenges they face. 

We hope this conversation will encourage people to reflect on contribution, what that can look like and the important parts we can all play in shaping the world to be a better place. 

We thank Akeela for being the person she is, standing up with integrity and working so hard for social justice and equality for all.
