I have been working for Community Intercultural Programme, specifically, Oasis Youth,  for over 5 years. This involves engaging primarily with black and minority ethnic young people to educate them on issues relevant to them, equipping them with the skills needed to succeed in life and empower them to fulfil their potential. Food poverty and insecurity in our community is a massive issue and we are passionate about doing whatever we can to combat this in sustainable ways whether that’s through food packs for families or cooking and budgeting programmes for our young people.

I've been involved in youth work since I was 14 and worked for Lambeth Youth Council for more than 16 years. I set up the Brixton Soup Kitchen in 2013 because walking around the area at a young age I realised there was a need for support and there weren’t many services around. I didn't want to be one of those people who just complains so I decided to do something and it's just grown from there. My moto is Aspire to Inspire!
