“My passion for advocacy was sparked by witnessing the disparities around me, from the forced head-covering in Iran to the precarious environments of my black and brown friends. These questions led me to delve into research and activism, ultimately aiming to create a more inclusive and just society. Activism, for me, is about amplifying marginalised voices and driving policy change to address inequalities.” – Nadia Kendall in “For Many Years From Tomorrow”
