Tebs Rashid - Deputy Chief Executive of BTEG on her lifetime battling as a Muslim woman to decide her own destiny.

Cremé Project Podcast

In this episode I speak to Tebussum Rashid the Deputy Chief Executive at the Black Training Enterprise Group (aka BTEG).

Tebs has over 25 years' experience of working in the charity and voluntary sector, helping create and develop new organisations and projects. But it was a tough climb to get to where she is today, being the eldest daughter in a Muslim family, having to overcome, not just the low expectations of her teachers, but also of her family and community.

Tebs successfully negotiated her way around those barriers, and today, as well as being the Deputy Chief Exec at BTEG, she also runs her own training company – Sukoon Ltd - through which she delivers a diverse range of courses and facilitates strategic planning away days.

In this episode we discuss her life of intersectionality fighting sexism, racism and islamophobia and her lifetime struggling as a Muslim woman to define her own destiny.
