As founding co-chair of MOSAIC, Phoenix Group’s BAME network, Rabya leads a diverse UK-wide committee (including senior leaders) to actively drive D&I initiatives, delivering impact for colleagues, her business and local communities.
She’s hosted leading academics and thought leaders to discuss Black Lives Matter and systemic racism – which have directly impacted the company’s response to these issues. And co-led a powerful session for International Women’s Day, where she hosted a conversation with Dr. Kamel Hothi and the Group CEO.
Rabya is instrumental in driving social/cultural awareness– organising a program of events/communications to encourage colleagues to learn about steps they can take to support BAME colleagues.
Outside of work, Rabya is an active member of the Scottish Parliament’s Cross-Party Group for Racial Equality and part of YWCA Scotland. Throughout 2020 she worked closely with Parliament to produce the Young Women Lead Report 2019/2020 on the education-employment transition for young BAME women.
