A few months ago, I connected with Haleema Ali at the Uprising leadership graduation event. Haleema Ali is a social and political activist, inspiring social change through events, art and workshops. Haleema is also a youth worker, mentor and teacher, helping young people from underrepresented backgrounds to become the leaders of tomorrow.

During this interview Haleema highlighted the importance of speaking truth to power, using art or a platform to influence change We also touched on how creating for social action can highlight and help to address key issues the youth of today face.
