When we asked Foluke what has attracted her to the role she shared her memories of childhood;

“As a football fan since almost before birth, attending football games with my family and usually being the only Black girl in my section of the terraces, I salute this organisation that puts anti-racism at the heart of its work and wish it had been around when I was younger!”.

When joining Show Racism the Red Card we asked Ranjit what he is motivated by

“To help others develop and achieve, to shape and make things better, whilst facing and conquering new challenges.  My experiences, character, faith, and behaviours define my values, which are respect, responsibility, fairness, loyalty, and integrity, living these values enable me to deliver them”.

We very much look forward to the contribution Ranjit can make.

Ravishaan S. Rahel Muthiah

Ravishaan has been an activist and campaigner for migrants for over 10 years. Currently working as a  Communications Director for the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, Rav knows first hand how big the battle against racism is. Asked why he has chosen to join our Board of Trustees Rav responded,

“In recent months, the government passed its racist Nationality and Borders Bill, brought back the Bill of Rights, are pushing ahead with their cruel Rwanda deportation plan and the Home Secretary has called people fleeing war and torture, ‘invaders’. Given this overall context and as a grandchild of refugees, I understand the vital importance of Show Racism the Red Card’s work.” (And of course for Rav, football was another pull) “I’m also a massive football fan, football has the ability to unite people across dividing lines and transform rotten belief systems. As an Arsenal fan who grew up watching the Invincibles team of the early 2000’s, the power of Black Arsenal players helped me to see myself in British Society.”
