For him, leadership is not about awards, but about making a meaningful impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conversation with NQ, Khan shared his journey from a marketing graduate to a leading advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).

It\u2019s about students, staff, and communities thriving.

His approach to inclusive leadership involves collaboration and active listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommunities aren\u2019t \u2018hard to reach\u2019,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It\u2019s often our processes that make it hard for them to be heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We need to go to them, listen, and work alongside them to create solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of his most impactful projects involved developing an interpretation and translation service for underserved communities in Surrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLanguage should never be a barrier to accessing support. It was fulfilling to see that service make a tangible difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/03\/b4ee04e4-af12-4d08-b3a8-bae8e01ea780-1-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21590\" style=\"width:384px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/03\/b4ee04e4-af12-4d08-b3a8-bae8e01ea780-1-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/03\/b4ee04e4-af12-4d08-b3a8-bae8e01ea780-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/03\/b4ee04e4-af12-4d08-b3a8-bae8e01ea780-1-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/03\/b4ee04e4-af12-4d08-b3a8-bae8e01ea780-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/03\/b4ee04e4-af12-4d08-b3a8-bae8e01ea780-1.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amraze Khan | Credit: Amraze Khan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advice for aspiring changemakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For students and young professionals passionate about driving social change, Khan&#8217;s main advice was to be patient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChange doesn\u2019t happen overnight.

Some people\u2019ve walked this path before you, and their guidance can be invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the often emotionally-taxing nature of his work, Khan said he stayed grounded by leaning on his support system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy mum is a constant source of laughter and strength.
