Nikki is a lifelong advocate for equity, inclusion and the transformative power of young people’s voices. From co-founding the UK Youth Parliament as a teenager to building spaces where community voice drives change, her work has ensured the establishment of youth-led mental health services and anti-racist campaigning and education. As the Anti-Racist Mum, Nikki supports white people to unlearn conditioning and take meaningful action toward justice. Her work is rooted in truth, love and accountability, and this resource is part of her mission to support Global Majority children and young people to experience equity within educational settings.

This episode is a call to action for anyone committed to justice and inclusion. Nikki reminds us that advocacy is not about speaking for others, but about creating spaces for dialogue, empathy, and connection. Her reflections on “consent culture” vs “entitlement culture” challenge us to rethink how we show up in community and how we can foster unity without erasing difference.
