Haleema Ali's Linkedin Analytics

I'm a freelance artist, activist, campaigner and educator. I use creativity to inspire social change and currently hold the position of Creative Leader for my local Council. I've curated art exhibitions on human rights and knife crime which were both featured on BBC News. I deliver talks, training and creative workshops on topics ranging from Diversity and Inclusion to Climate Justice. My current projects are funded by Bedfordshire Police and Luton Council, addressing postcode wars and serious youth violence. I'm also a youth worker, passionate about inspiring the next generation of leaders. I'm currently the Campaign Manager for Bite Back 2030, co-founded by Jamie Oliver with the aim of creating a world where young people have the opportunity to be healthy, no matter where they live. I've taught students in a pupil referral unit, who were expelled from mainstream school, run mentoring programmes for the Prince's Trust, mentored young people myself, and run youth leadership and environmental programmes, as well as managing the external relations and comms for UpRising Leadership. I've interned for an MP, running a political summer school. I'm a member of several advisory and board groups, including a Police Scrutiny Panel, ensuring stop and searches are conducted in a fair and effective manner, Luton Sports Network and Next Generation Youth Theatre panel. I've had a varied career - I guess you can say, I wear multiple hats..or hijabs! I've worked in various industries, in the education, charity and art sector.
