“Few people write about identity with such fluency and sincerity.”

Sathnam Sanghera

“The most powerful inclusion conversations are the ones that invite people in rather than tell them what to think, and Jassa did exactly that. He created a warm, open and engaging space where our colleagues felt able to listen, reflect and connect with his ‘Both Not Half’ conversation in their own way. The response from the room was incredibly positive, but more importantly, he gave our people something to keep thinking and talking about afterwards. We all took different things from this; 'Identity is truly a lifelong pilgrimage', 'Empowering us to state our own identity and not letting society define us or label us' and perhaps his fantastic use of the metaphors of bricks and light to help deconstruct rigid binary thinking about race and heritage. I for one was captivated.”

Jane Francis, Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at EDF Energy
“We were delighted to have Jassa speak to our students and offer his thought-provoking perspective on living life amid two cultures, two languages, two ethnic backgrounds that co-exist in and around him constantly. He was honest about the misconceptions he faces, insightful and moving about the tensions he experiences, but also humorous, engaging and ultimately upbeat about the richness of his life experience and that of all people who spring from two contrasting heritage journeys. Speaking to our students after the talk, it was clear they saw Jassa as an authentic and highly relatable figure, from whom they learned much of value in a short space of time.”

Alex Frazer, Headteacher of Bancroft’s School
“Jassa was charismatic, inspiring, and humorous, while respecting the seriousness of his subject. After his lecture, he answered questions from the audience with clarity and empathy. Feedback from attendees was unanimously positive. As our Treasurer said on the night, “Jassa's lecture was a demonstration of impressive and forceful advocacy which should inspire any Bar student”. Two student reflections on the impact the lecture had on them particularly stood out: “It was empowering to hear from Jassa and has given me confidence about my own identity.” “Jassa spoke very eloquently, and with great authenticity and passion regarding the issue of identity, diversity and racial equality.”

Lord Justice Singh, Lincoln’s Inn
“It was an absolute honour to explore identity, belonging and culture with Jassa Ahluwalia, in a way that felt completely raw, unfiltered and deeply human. Jassa brought such honesty and emotional intelligence to the space, allowing us to unpick complex themes with nuance and courage. The discussion was powerful and inspiring, sparking rich reflection in the room and long after. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with guests sharing how much they resonated with the conversation and how seen they felt in the stories and themes we explored together.”

Priya Aggarwal-Shah, Founder and Director of PREACH Inclusion and PREACH Conversations
“It was a privilege to work with Jassa Ahluwalia across two impactful engagements at Capital City College. His ability to create meaningful dialogue around identity, belonging and representation resonated powerfully with both staff and students. Through his #BothNotHalf work, Jassa challenged perspectives, broke down stereotypes, and created space for honest, nuanced conversations that have had a lasting impact across our college community. His sessions were not only inspiring, but transformative—equipping both our staff and learners with confidence in their identities and leaving colleagues with deeper insight and renewed commitment to inclusive practice.”

Bimmy Rai, EDI Manager at Capital City College
“Jassa has an incredibly honest and thought provoking way of sharing his fascinating life experience, which engaged our group on such a deep level! Everyone loved the talk and wished we had more time with him.”

Gareth Mills, Co-Lead for Represent@PlayStation and Senior Producer at PlayStation London Studio
“Jassa’s presentation at the City of London Corporation’s Staff Network event was moving, funny and engaging. Jassa’s delivery was professional yet personal, giving the audience an authentic perspective into his lived experience.”
