“"Lateefah delivered an outstanding guest lecture for our first-year Communication & Media students who are undertaking a Journalism unit at Bournemouth University. The students benefited immensely from Lateefah's excellent professional advice and industry insights which helped our students to understand the value of their transferrable skills and plan effectively for multi-faceted rather than mono-dimensional careers in the digital age. Lateefah's lecture concluded with a Q&A session during which she not only answered questions from the students effectively but also boosted their confidence as communicators and encouraged them to seize opportunities. I would highly recommend Lateefah as an informative and inspirational guest lecturer in educational contexts."
