Remember the shocking footage of a father dragged by police after doctors told him they were turning off his daughter Zainab's life-support? I spoke to Drs Rashid & Aliya Abbasi for @MetroUK who are setting up a foundation named after their late daughter.

Such powerful statements.

"To make life a little better for people less fortunate than you. That's what I think a meaningful life is. One lives not just for oneself, but for one's community."

EMPOWERING MINDS CONSULTANCY WAS ESTABLISHED...

TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PROFESSIONALS TO SHARE GOOD PRACTICE ACROSS ALL SECTORS.

An open mind is already able to accept new learning.

Your mind is a very powerful tool and can only be unlocked with the right education.
Where our education comes from is down to what we have been exposed to.
Our mind can empower us rather than not empower us.

Ideologies and misconceptions can create animosity which can only be cleared with facing yourself, education and sharing practice.
We can unlock our mind with the right knowledge, hence the old saying, knowledge is the key.
If knowledge is your key, the mind is your lock. Learning empowers you as knowledge is the life of the mind.

Empowering Minds aims to engage, educate and inspire individuals through new learning and the literal practice of Diversity, Cohesion and Citizenship.

Her knowledge, experience and expertise in this field gave her the tools to open Empowering Minds Consultancy.
