Aisha is a student at the University of Edinburgh and during the summer of last year, she led the charge, mobilising over 8,000 students to ask the university one question: What are you doing about racism?

In discussing her bravery, but also what scared her, Aisha is an inspirational individual who is resolute in making an impact and incorporating social justice into the way she wants to live her life.

She is adamant that she is not going to fit into this little box society has carved out for her, her ancestors and is trying to carve out for her future generations.

She is a Black Nigerian Muslim who is studying architecture and her parting words were:

“Use your voice. Don’t let anybody come and silence you. The entire world will rally around you for doing the right thing.”
