Guiding Practice, Inspiring Change!

It is not enough to be anti-racist. Anti-racist practice requires a commitment to continuous un/learning, informed action, and solidarity. It is a journey that lasts a lifetime, and at MA Consultancy, we commit to supporting our clients every step of the way.

MA Consultancy works with a range of clients worldwide, supporting them to develop equitable and inclusive structures and practices. We support clients by creating shared spaces for dialogue and co-creation; conducting research and offering leadership and staff development programmes that are designed to meet the clients where they are.

Our work is rooted in community building and our approach is centred on an ethics of care.

We understand that this work is difficult, it needs to be. We understand that this work is uncomfortable, it needs to be. Even with the best of intentions, we can still unknowingly cause harm. Change requires us to focus on our actions’ impact, not just on our intentions.

“Solidarity is not the same as support. To experience solidarity, we must have a community of interests, shared beliefs and goals around which to unite, to build Sisterhood. Support can be occasional. It can be given and just as easily withdrawn. Solidarity requires sustained, ongoing commitment.” - bell hooks

  • New approaches are needed to make progress in changing thinking around inclusion within Higher Education. MA Consultancy Ltd's refreshing philosophy and non-confrontational training techniques mean that everyone is included and no one feels threatened. People are much more likely to listen and reflect.

    Dr Zainab Khan- Pro Vice Chancellor, London Metropolitan University

  • MA Consultancy's grasp of relevant issues combined with the capacity to provide both substance and culturally relevant solutions to areas of concern ensures that the outcomes will be transformative. As society faces many uncertainties, there is a need to create new ways of seeing, changing and transforming, which MA provides. Equally as important is the location of their work that brings together their intellectual capacity and strong commitment to community centred ideas.

    Dr Martin Glynn – Senior Lecturer at Birmingham City University

  • Their introduction to anti-racism sessions were both informative and inspiring, challenging us to think differently about our practices as educationalists. The consultants warm delivery allows MA Consultancy Ltd to strike the perfect balance of communicating uncomfortable truths with great sensitivity.

    Mr Sam Holdsworth ~ Deputy Headteacher ~ Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School

  • Working with MA Consultancy has changed my practice, in ways that allow me to foreground the ethics of collaboration, reciprocity and care in teaching, community activism and research. Without the teams professional support, I would be a different educator and researcher, and I would be making more mistakes.

    Dr Will Mason ~ Lecturer at the University of Sheffield

  • We'd recommend anyone, and everyone, spend time working with Muna, she is genuinely one of the most insightful consultants we've ever worked with. Thank you Muna.

    ~ The team at PAPER ~

  • The inset provided was pitched perfectly for a primary school and balanced theory and practical next steps. Staff feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Our staff working party has continued to work with Dr Abdi and her team and this ongoing support has been vital in ensuring that the key messages from training become intrinsic to all we do. We are aware that unconscious bias in school and society as a whole is endemic and pervasive. We know that we must work hard to continually question ourselves and hold ourselves to account. But as a head, I no longer feel overwhelmed but confident that we can change thinking.

    ~ Caroline Tyson, Headteacher, London Fields School, Hackney ~
