Abdullah Uhuru has over 20 years of working with young people in the statutory and voluntary sector and also in Further Education and draws from this extensive experience in his work. As a writer, photographer and performing artist, Uhuru is a great believer in the use of emotional intelligence to help individuals and groups explore how their feelings, perceptions and misconceptions shape their actions. His sessions are hands-on and designed for mixed ability groups.

Abdullah feels that it is important that students get to converse with a Black male writer-sociologist, as it can motivate students from all backgrounds and breakdown racial stereotypes. Abdullah has been invited to speak and run sessions with University students, Islamic groups, voluntary groups, prison inmates and primary school pupils drawing on his diverse community and educational experiences in the UK, the Caribbean, Egypt and Iran.
