Rabina Khan

MSC PUBLIC POLICY, KING'S COLLEGE LONDON

I was a former Councillor in London and worked as a Special Advisor in the House of Lords, have written for national and international papers and regularly appeared in the media.

I have spoken at the University of Cambridge and on BBC Radio 4, won the European Diversity Awards in 2014 and was a nominee for the Positive Role Model (Gender) Award at The National Diversity Awards 2021 in association with ITV. This was for my work on communities and dismantling stereotypes about Muslim women in Britain through my work as a speaker and in the public life. My political memoir, ‘My Hair Is Pink Under This Veil’ was published in 2021.

After completing the NCTJ Diploma, I aim to bring diversity when reporting on climate change. People of colour and marginalised communities suffer the most from climate change, including from climate displacement. Highlighting stories on climate activism from these communities will bring diversity into the newsroom and shape an inclusive climate change debate.
