How do you keep faith in yourself as a leader while balancing the high expectations and intense media scrutiny that come with being ‘first’? What do we mean by ‘systemic Islamophobia’ and where does it lead? Can we still find reasons to laugh, even when faced with hate and divisive rhetoric?

We spoke to Zara Mohammed - the first woman, first Scot and youngest leader to be elected Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain – about what leadership means to her, how she keeps faith in times of crisis, and her thoughts on the future of interfaith in the UK.

The Muslim Council of Britain is the umbrella body representing 500 Muslim member organisations across the UK. Find out more about their work here and read their latest reports and initiatives around Black Muslim identity in Britain, representation of Muslims in the media and analysing recent census data on the British Muslim community.
