The i-narrative team had the honour of sitting down with Independent Councillor Abdul Wahid (@wahidashraf118), Deputy Leader of the Oldham Group and representative for Hollinwood Ward, in our latest episode …exploring lived experiences and leadership within British Muslim communities.
In a powerful and honest conversation, Cllr Wahid opened up about the deep-rooted challenges of racism and Islamophobia still facing communities across the UK. He spoke passionately about his decision to resign from party politics over principles—including his stance on Palestine—and his drive to hold power to account, especially around issues like child exploitation, transparency and human rights.
Known for his courage to speak out where others stay silent, Cllr Wahid continues to be a bold voice for justice, advocating for community safety, equity and the rightful place of Muslims in public life.
We’re incredibly grateful for his time, his truth, and the essential work he continues to do at the grassroots level.Show More
