Jahaan Abdurahman

Jahaan is a Senior Innovation Consultant with a commitment to fostering social innovation and equity. She currently leads the team working on the London Violence Reduction Unit’s MyEnds programme, which aims to reduce community violence through grassroots initiatives. She is also part of the team supporting the Department for Education’s Families First for Children Pathfinder programme, focusing on improving outcomes for children and families across the country. 

Her work focuses on creating impactful social innovations with a core focus on anti-racism. With a background in social entrepreneurship, Jahaan has co-created social innovations with local communities all over the world and driven digital transformation initiatives in global charities. Her academic grounding in psychology has allowed her to explore the intersection of psychology and social justice, and its application in therapeutic practice. Jahaan employs human-centered design and co-creation methodologies to ensure that solutions are sustainable and community-driven.

Outside of Innovation Unit, Jahaan runs an anti-racist healers and therapists collective and leads several local initiatives to support the wellbeing of racial and ethnic minority communities. You can often find Jahaan engrossed in a few good books, spending time with her (very clingy) cat and exploring the beaches and parks nearby with her partner.
