Niha Miah
Programme Coordinator and Facilitator
Niha has varied experience across the not-for-profit, higher education
and the creative sector and currently leads The Brokerage’s Young
Leaders Programme. With a background in history and gender studies,
Niha understands the deeply rooted, systemic and cultural obstacles
which many individuals from marginalised backgrounds face when
seeking employment. Niha is driven by her own lived experience as a
Muslim woman and has a desire to break down socio-cultural and
systemic barriers to create a more diverse and equal workforce. She
aims to do so by supporting young people in reaching their true
potential and by influencing and encouraging transformation and
change in attitudes towards Equality, Diversity & Inclusion across the
corporate world.
Our Changemaker Young Leaders
Our Changemaker Young Leaders are a group of young people who have been selected from our wider
Candidate pool due to their commitment, leadership skills and passion for promoting social mobility on
a broader scale. They are a diverse group of 32 individuals, ranging in age from studying A-Levels at
Sixth Form, to undertaking apprenticeships, to nearing the end of their University studies and come
from a broad range of underepresented communities. As an ambitous group of talented young people,
who all aspire to thrive in professional careers, they offer a unique perspective and insight that can be
hightly valuable to organisations hoping to attract and retain individuals like them.
As well as directly participating in some of the Changemaker Services outlined in this brochure (our
Inclusive Leadership Course and our HR Youth Focus Group) we also consult them and use their input
throughout our wider offer. You can find out further information about the current cohort on our
