MA DEVELOPMENT STUDIES, KING'S COLLEGE LONDON

Our shared values as Muslims forge a bond that empowers us to comprehend and vocalise the challenges our community faces. With this in mind, I am determined to advocate for positive change and bridge existing gaps.

My ambition is to analyse the prevailing economic disparities between British Muslims and non-Muslims. Drawing on my BA in Religion and Politics from KCL, I possess a strong theoretical background that covers the intersections of race, class, and religion within political systems. I am excited to leverage and apply this to practical research methods and community engagement.

I intend to enter the civil service to contribute to systematically dismantling barriers to social mobility, which are deeply rooted in institutional racism. Moreover, I aim to advocate for enhanced community support systems that nurture an inclusive society for both my generation and future British Muslims, to fully realise their potential and aspirations.
