As a Cross-cultural Consultant, Tasneem addresses issues of equity and belonging through an intersectional lens in the leadership of government, corporate, arts, and NGO sectors within Australia and globally. She assists clients in revamping their D&I policies as an industry expert and advisor, executing workshops, curating exhibitions, and promoting social change toward greater cultural inclusion. Tasneem is also a highly sought-after emcee and accomplished keynote speaker.

For her efforts, she was appointed the inaugural Ambassador for Women of Colour Australia, is a former Anti-Racism Champion with the Australian Human Rights Commission, and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal. She is also a former Director with the Luke Batty Foundation and NOW Australia and a former Chair of the Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights.

Central to the philosophy underpinning Tasneem’s passion in this sector is the firm belief that people, and women of colour in particular, lack neither the agency nor the desire to excel in leadership but rather the opportunity. For this reason, she unapologetically seeks out platforms and strategies to facilitate this through education, advocacy, and mentoring.
