I Journey Through Brand Stories

I'm a Community Weaver—a path I’m carving out myself, driven by a passion for cultivating meaningful connections. From grassroots youth work to strategic partnerships, I’m all about shaping communities that thrive.

👷‍♂️ Transitioned from a Civil Engineer to a Social Fabric Engineer, I’m now diving into the realm of corporate fundraising. Here, I bridge the gap between corporate donors and impactful charitable causes, ensuring that every partnership fosters genuine community growth.

🌟 At the intersection of stakeholder engagement, corporate partnerships, and public involvement, I’m crafting narratives where every voice is heard and valued. My vision? To enhance the community feel of brands, non-profits, and local government, both in the real world and online.

🚀 Through my role as Co-founder of Capture Minds, I continue to hone these skills by fostering spaces where education breaks barriers and ignites change. I’m all about building vibrant communities and questioning the invisible structures that hold us back.

🔨 Whether it’s amplifying the pulse of a neighbourhood or steering a brand’s digital presence, I’m there, laying the bricks for cultures rooted in authenticity and engagement. Now I bring this same energy to building impactful relationships with corporate donors.

🤎 Passionate advocate for BAME communities, I staunchly believe in representation and equal opportunities.

🔍 Sharing my journey, insights, and the fascinating interplay of marketing, creativity, and impact on LinkedIn. I’m all about brands that narrate tales that captivate!

💬 Let’s connect, collaborate, and redefine the essence of community together. Join me on this unique journey to a future where community curator isn’t just my role, but a shared mission.

A small reintroduction feels overdue. 

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now. So instead of waiting for the new year, I’m starting today.

If you’ve known me for a while, you’ll know I’m happiest when I’m building things that bring people together. On this blessed Friday, it feels like the right moment to share where the past six months have taken me.

Earlier this summer I made the decision to leave Muslim Aid UK. It was a positive step forward, and I’m genuinely grateful for my time there. I met incredible colleagues, supported humanitarian work, and had the privilege of fundraising and growing income to help deliver meaningful programmes around the world.

I also travelled to corners of the UK I never imagined I’d see, meeting communities that widened my perspective. Not bad for a West London council estate boy who grew up around red buses (and the sirens). And yes, I’ll miss a lot… but maybe not the Ramadan iftar dishes that nearly finished me. I love spice, but there’s only so much you can spice up your life.

Since the summer I’ve been supporting multifaith groups, women’s networks, community organisations and emerging founders who needed help building structure and generating income. Not every project I do needs to be profit-led. Some work matters simply because it strengthens people and builds trust.

Two things are now central to my journey.

First is our non-for-profit Aruuri , which in Somali means to gather. Aruuri is a tech-enabled community fund dedicated to transforming how philanthropy works in the Horn of Africa, rooted in transparency, impact and long-term resilience. I’m a founding trustee, leading on partnerships and fundraising, working alongside some of the most brilliant East Africans I’ve ever met. Our ambition is bold: to create a trusted, data-backed way for the global diaspora to fund sustainable change becoming a social unicorn, something that doesn’t just raise money but reshapes how what true social impact and philanthropic storytelling means.

We’ve already signed project partners for our pilot year, and our donor waitlist grows every day from across the world. We’re preparing to go live in Feb/Ramadan 2026 (hold on to your samosas/sambuus👀). We’re actively speaking to institutional funders who believe in community-led, accountable and scalable change. If that’s you, I’d genuinely love to connect.

The second is Ihraamly, founded to support Muslims who want to travel with trusted Umrah groups. Too many people rely on scattered WhatsApp chats, unclear inclusions and confusing prices. I’m building a platform that offers trust, choice and transparency, with verified providers joining daily ahead of our launch on 5 January 2026.

If any of this resonates, I’d love for you to follow both the Aruuri  and Ihraamly  pages. I’m excited for this next chapter and grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way. There’s so much more to do, and we’re only just getting started.

The last few days have honestly been a bit of a whirlwind.

I shared this post without any big expectations, and since then I’ve had so many thoughtful messages, words of encouragement, collaboration ideas and check-ins that I’m still catching up. I’m really grateful for the support and for the generosity people have shown with their time and energy.

There’s been genuine interest in Aruuri from funders and stakeholders who want to understand the journey, the thinking, and how we’re approaching community-led, transparent and accountable philanthropy. Those conversations are still early, but they’ve been energising and affirming.

I’ve also had investors reach out about Ihraamly. It’s still early days and we’re very focused on building the foundations properly, but even those conversations have been encouraging and a reminder that building with trust and clarity resonates.

More than anything, this has reminded me how valuable it is to share the journey as it’s unfolding, not just when things feel neat or complete. I’m going to be more intentional about showing up here and posting regularly as things develop.

Thank you to everyone who reached out, commented, shared, or sent a quiet message. I really appreciate it, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.
