About ME

I have a long history of working for social justice and racial equality in London, starting as a youth worker and becoming the Director of Youth Services for a charity in Camden.

I am currently the Director of Community Relations & Public Affairs at LabTech, which owns Camden Market, a place that supports small businesses and entrepreneurs. I am also the Vice-Chair for SME4Labour, an organisation that advocates for the interests of Small and Medium Enterprises in the UK.

Aged 19, I was the victim of a miscarriage of justice (Learn More) . This experience left me determined to make the world a better place. I joined the Labour Party, because I believed that only Labour could help me to achieve this.

I was a Councillor in Camden between 2006 – 2022 and a Cabinet member from 2010 -2022, I have worked hard to make local government more responsive and inclusive for the diverse communities in the borough. I co-chaired a Taskforce with Keir Starmer to improve youth safety in Camden, which led to the creation of the Engage Programme, a youth diversion scheme that has received £3 million from the Mayor of London and is now operating across the city.

I am Chairman of Capital Kids Cricket for West Ham and Stratford Cricket Club, and a member of the London Bangladeshi Health Partnership. I have been a Trustee of St. Andrews Charity, a member of the London Councils Grants Committee, and a Governor of Westminster Kingsway College.

I am passionate about making London a fairer, safer, and more prosperous place for everyone.
