1 MY ELECTION I AM the first female and the first Scot to be elected as the Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain which is a massive thing. At 29, I am also the youngest person to represent the most diverse Muslim umbrella organisation in the UK. It is not something I ever imagined myself doing and it wasn’t until I had been elected that I had that penny drop moment of “this is me, this is actually happening”. The realisation dawned that not only had I been elected but I had all that responsibility, the ability to make a difference and the opportunity to do good.
