When I think about authentic leadership, Anisa often springs to mind. She leads from the heart, with integrity and with courage, creating around her an atmosphere of trust and openness. A visit to her office fills one with energy and a renewed sense of social purpose. And her thoughtful contributions to discussions and policy often help me to see the world differently, through a much wider lens.

Anisa is one of those rare individuals who backs up their personal beliefs, intentions and ideals with action. The work Beatfreeks does is essential, creating waves of change and opportunity within GenZ. Anisa’s ability to drive societal change through creating environments for young people to take control of their generation’s destiny is so great to see, the world would be a better place with more people like her.
Anisa was brilliant - she is such an inspiration and the organisation has very much fallen in love with her.
Anisa has been amazing at helping us structure our organisation and make big decisions about our club. Anisa has helped us create a governance structure to enable a fair decision making process. The calls that we have had have been positive and action focussed and Anisa was able to direct us to an answer for every issue we presented her with. We have come out of all our calls having turned negative issues into positive learning experiences.
I really enjoyed connecting with Anisa. She was so generous with her knowledge and experience. Anisa gave me the inspiration, knowledge, and impetus to make the move and incorporate my Arts organisation. Anisa's candour gave me the courage and clarity I needed.
Working under the leadership of Anisa over the last few years has been a huge privilege - allowing me to discover skills I didn't know I had and really grow in confidence. Anisa leads with strength and vulnerability, I am always inspired by her innovation and hunger for growth. As someone who has always been quite fearful of change, I have found working with Anisa has completely shifted my perspective, seeing the huge value and opportunities that change can present. I will be forever grateful for Anisa's leadership and the part she's played in my professional and personal journey.’
