Maybe they should have given Roukagia a Fellowship to challenge and dismantle her systemic failure to grasp English grammar, but more importantly, has the Virgin Money Foundation given any Fellowships to any victims of jihad to help them fight against jihad violence? Any Fellowships to critics of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women to help them fight for the freedom of speech? Any Fellowships to Christians to help them fight Christianophobia? None of those are even being contemplated? Now, why is that?
Also, what systemic Islamophobia against Muslim women in the UK is Roukagia fighting? Britain bends over backwards to make Muslims feel welcome and at home, and viciously persecutes critics of mass Muslim migration and even of Muslim rape gang activity. So what exactly was done with this Fellowship, and how needed was it, really?
“The young change makers tackling everything from Islamophobia to mental health,” by Holly Branson, Virgin.com, August 18, 2022:
In December 2020, I wrote about the Virgin Money Foundation’s amazing six-month Young Change Makers Fellowship Programme, which empowers young people to scale their social impact and tackle big issues head on.
Fast-forward to 2022, and the cohort of changemakers have received funding, mentorship, leadership growth, travelled the globe, and developed incredible solutions….

“The change I want to create is to make Muslim women feel like they are more included in society. A lot of the time we experience stigmas. I started this Fellowship with an idea but not a strategic plan, I knew I had to do something to make Muslim women feel more included and to raise more awareness of what we face when it comes to Islamophobia.
Thanks to the Fellowship and my incredible method group I was able to develop myself as a leader and strategic thinker and get to a stage where I will be creating my own social enterprise, which works to challenge and dismantle systemic Islamophobic [sic] towards Muslim woman [sic] in the UK.”…
