health. No
stranger to current debates on integration, multiculturalism and
community cohesion, Humera was a member of the Cantle Commission

identities - especially that of Muslims - recognised. She remains a
powerful, critical and
independent
advocate for positive social change and an inclusive, just Britain. |
