FAST-TRACK MULTIMEDIA JOURNALISM, NEWS ASSOCIATES

I am an aspiring journalist with a BA in Digital Media and Communications. As a black Muslim, I represent not one, but two marginalised communities. I hope to utilise this unique perspective to bring diversity to an otherwise white, male-dominated industry.

Furthermore, I intend to be a strong, positive voice for the Black Muslim community, which consistently receives little to no representation in the media.

I strongly believe that journalism can better society by countering misinformation, exposing injustices and sparking change, and aim to break into this industry through the fast-track Multimedia Journalism course at News Associates London.
