You only have until 31st December to get your nominations in for the British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration Awards 2014. http://bbpower-inspiration.com/ So get cracking!The British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration (BBPI) is the brainchild of local Wapping resident Abdal Ullah who is also Tower Hamlets Councillor for St Dunstans & Stepney Green.
Abdal Ullah – not just a street style icon
Abdall Ullah
Abdal get often be seen around Wapping in a rather fetching flat cap and natty scarf.More importantly he works for not just the people he is elected to represent ‘oop north’ in St Dunstans & Stepney Green but his neighbours too – that’s you.The idea behind BB Power & Inspiration is to identify and promote Bangladeshi people in the whole of the UK (not just Wapping) who are leaders, pioneers or role models for the Bangladeshi community.Some people may be well established and familiar faces, others not so.But it’s the lesser known that need help and mentoring to succeed in representing their community at a national and local level. That’s what BBPI delivers.
Showcasing British Bangladeshi talent
“BBPI is about ensuring the incredible talent of British Bangladeshis is showcased and recognised,” says Abdal. “That is why we want to hear from you if there is someone who you think deserves to be recognised for their contribution to Britain today”Here’s Abdal talking about the issues on the BBC.
