Balancing her studies and full-time career, she has dedicated more than a decade to volunteer work.
One of her most impactful contributions has been the establishment of her soon-to-be charity, When Life Gives You Lemons (WLGYL), an initiative she founded to empower first-generation immigrant women and girls. Through WLGYL, she provides practical career and life skills training to help young women overcome the barriers they may face in their professional careers and realise their potential. The initiative supports women aged 18-25 in navigating cultural differences, building confidence, and developing the tools they need to thrive in the UK job market.
As a first-generation immigrant herself, she has a personal connection to the challenges these women encounter. Her own experiences shaped her desire to give back to her community and contribute to a more inclusive society. WLGYL’s work directly addresses gender equity by focusing on young women from immigrant backgrounds, helping them access opportunities and bridge gaps that often exist due to gender, race, and cultural differences.
Beyond WLGYL, her commitment to gender equality extends to advocacy work within organisations such as the National Council of Women Great Britain. In this capacity, she has represented the organisation at multiple United Nations Commission on the Status of Women sessions and the Commonwealth Women’s Forum. She has also collaborated with the Ministry of Justice on an event aimed at encouraging more girls to enter policymaking.
Her previous role as a Member of Youth Parliament enabled her to campaign for increased female political participation in her borough, resulting in a significant rise in female engagement. These initiatives reflect her ongoing dedication to creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for women, whether through direct mentorship, community building, or advocacy on national and international platforms.
